Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix sugar, cocoa, and oil together in a medium bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 2

Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in another medium bowl; gradually stir into cocoa mixture until just combined; dough will be sticky. Cover and refrigerate until firm, 4 hours to overnight.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll or scoop dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in confectioners' sugar; place 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until edges set and tops crackle, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes to firm up; transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
