Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (25g)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Whisk gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg with the sugar. Add the cocoa powder and the oil, and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and mix until well incorporated. The dough is sticky. Add the red food coloring and mix until the dough takes a homogeneous red color.
- Let the dough chill covered in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- With a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls, and roll the dough balls generously in powdered sugar, then roll a second time before baking for a thicker coating.
- Place the balls into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10/12 minutes. Keep in mind that all ovens are different.
