  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp red gel food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by red food coloring and vanilla extract.
