Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Beat in the egg and vanilla, followed by the red gel colouring.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Line 2 large baking trays with baking parchment. Roll the dough into 12 equal balls (about 60g each) and place, well spread out, on the baking trays. Bake for 12-14 minutes, swapping the trays halfway through, then set aside to cool on a wire rack. Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
