Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients.
- Measure out the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together.
- In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- After chilling, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll each portion into a ball.
- Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar before placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm while the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. They last about a week but are best enjoyed fresh. You can also freeze cookie dough for up to three months.
