The Essentials
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil (can use canola or light olive oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Baking Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Scoop the dough into 20 evenly sized portions, roll each into a ball, and generously coat in powdered sugar.
- Arrange the coated dough balls on a baking sheet, leaving space between them, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies should be soft when they come out and will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
