Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar For rolling the cookies
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the cocoa mixture and stir until combined.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Scoop the dough with a mini ice cream scoop for even portioning, which should yield around 20 cookies.
- Roll the cookie dough into even-sized balls and generously roll each ball in powdered sugar.
- Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will be soft when they come out but will harden as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve these cookies warm or at room temperature. They pair perfectly with a glass of milk or coffee. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze for longer storage.
