In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream softened butter with brown and white sugars until creamy. Add in two eggs, vanilla, and red food coloring and beat until combined.

Slowly add in flour mixture until dough forms and no flour remains.

Let batter chill at least 4 hours or overnight (preferred).

Once ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine white sugar and powdered sugar.

Using 2 tbsp of dough, roll into balls. Roll each dough ball into powdered sugar mixture until completely coated. Place about 1 inch apart on baking sheet.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until crackled. Let cool 10 minutes before moving to wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
