  In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  
  Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Once combined, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly again.
  
  Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming circles with a diameter of 5 cm.
  
  
  Bake for 10 minutes, until set. The cookies should be soft and light. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
