Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil Can substitute with coconut or olive oil.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Dusting
  • as needed powdered sugar For dusting on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Once chilled, use a teaspoon to scoop out dough, roll each ball in powdered sugar, and place them on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked but will firm up after cooling.
  3. Let cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate for about two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
