Ingredients
- 0.75 cup unsweetened Hershey's cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Step 2
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cocoa mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 6
Scoop small portions of the chilled dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
Step 7
Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies have spread slightly and the tops are crackled. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
