How to Make Vampire Cookies

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt using a whisk.
5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in red food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.
8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Use white icing to draw vampire fangs on each cookie.
