  3. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and red food coloring until fully combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding until just combined.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes.
