Ingredients
-
1 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 cup
sugar
-
1/2 cup
vegetable oil (I used canola oil)
-
4
eggs at room temperature
-
3 teaspoons
vanilla extract
-
2 cups
all purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons
baking powder
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
1 cup
powder sugar to roll/coat the cookies
Directions
-
In a mixing bowl combine the cocoa powder, white sugar and vegetable oil-- you can mix by hand or in a stand mixer. Once combined, add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until evenly combined.
-
In another bowl combine the all purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
-
Spoon in the flour into the wet mix until fully combined. Whatever you are using (hand or stand mixer) don't over mix it.
-
Cover the bowl with the cookie dough and refrigerate for at least 5 hours (I left it overnight and baked in the morning.)
-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure out small ball of dough, 1.5 t-2 inches balls. Roll the dough into balls with lightly oiled hands. Roll each ball in powdered sugar before placing onto baking sheets.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
