Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, and oil. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough will be soft but should not be overly sticky.
  5. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop (or a heaping spoonful) to portion out the dough one at a time. Drop the ball of dough in the powdered sugar and roll until fully coated, then place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with all the dough.

  6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the tops are cracked. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • The dough will be soft but will pack into a cookie scoop and be rollable in powdered sugar. Sometimes mismeasurements can lead to a dough that is too dry or too sticky. If too dry, try adding another 1-2 tablespoons of oil. If too sticky, try adding another 1-2 tablespoons of flour.
