Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until a smooth paste forms.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish or bowl.
Step 8
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls between your palms.
Step 9
Roll each dough ball generously in the powdered sugar, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 10
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 11
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and the cracks have formed on the surface.
Step 12
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
