- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the mixture is fully incorporated.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a sticky dough forms.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
Step 8
Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out 1-inch balls of dough. Roll each ball between your palms to shape, then coat generously in powdered sugar.
Step 9
Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have crackled on top but remain soft in the center.

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
