Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and Dutch cocoa powder until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and white vinegar to the creamed mixture, mixing until incorporated.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Incorporate red food coloring into the dough until the color is evenly distributed.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, roll it into a ball, and create an indentation to fill with marshmallow fluff.
  9. Enclose the fluff with additional dough, sealing it well.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  11. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
