Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar for 3-5 minutes until fluffy.

Add room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then add pure vanilla extract.

Whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder in a separate bowl, then gradually add to the wet mixture.

Add red food coloring, one drop at a time, until you achieve your desired pink hue.

Scoop out dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.

Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
