Ingredients
- 1 cup cocoa powder, sifted
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or any flavorless oil)
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet until an even brownie-like batter is formed.
- Cover the dough, and chill for at least 2 hours (At this point, the dough can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 6 weeks).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- After chilling, use a 1 tablespoon measure to scoop your cookies. Roll the dough between the palms of your hands to achieve a rounded ball. Scoop roughly 30-35 cookies.
- Roll each cookie dough ball in powdered sugar. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Take care not to over bake.
- Allow standing on the cookie sheet for 20 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
