In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Cream together for 1 minute. Add eggs, vanilla, and food coloring; beat until combined. Add and mix dry ingredients.
Chill dough for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F during the last 15 minutes. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and white sugar. Scoop 1.5 tablespoons of dough, roll in sugar mixture, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 9-12 minutes. The center should look slightly soft. Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
