Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and red food coloring.
