Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or canola oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cocoa, sugar, brown sugar, and canola oil.  Beat eggs in one at a time and stir in the vanilla.
  • Slowly stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture.  Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  • Using a cookie scoop and your hands, roll 1¼-inch cookie dough balls.  Roll each ball in powdered sugar and place them on the prepared cookie sheet with about 2-2½ inches between the cookie dough balls. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes before moving them to cookie-cooling racks.

Notes

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container on the counter at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze them in a sturdy, airtight container for up to 3 months.
