Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a thick dough.
- Roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and coat generously in powdered sugar.
- Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are cracked and the edges are set.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Chill dough for 20 minutes if it feels too sticky to roll.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
