Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the dairy-free margarine, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg replacer, vanilla extract, and red food coloring to the sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
