Grab That Mixer
Using your electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar until it's smooth.

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the mixer.
Still Keeping It Mixing
Now add the vanilla, vinegar and food coloring.
Separate Bowl Time
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together.
Bring It All Together
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
Grab the Baking Sheet.
Measure out a heaping tablespoon full of the dough. Roll the dough around in the extra sugar set aside to coat them, then roll the dough into balls and place on a baking sheet.
Bake!
Bake in an oven that's been preheated to 350° for 8-10 minutes.
Chill
Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool for a couple of minutes before placing the cookies directly on the wire rack to cool completely.
