• 1 cup sugar

• ½ cup cocoa powder

• ¼ cup vegetable oil

• 2 eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup flour

• ½ cup powdered sugar

Steps

1. Add 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of cocoa powder, and ¼ cup of vegetable oil to the bowl of a stand mixer

2. Place the paddle attachment on the mixer and beat to combine the oil with the sugar and cocoa powder until smooth and creamy 

3. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating until combined in between each addition 

   1. Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl as needed

4. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until incorporated

5. Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a ¼ teaspoon of salt and beat again

6. Add 1 cup of flour, a half cup at a time, mixing well after each flour addition

   1. Continue to mix until no dry flour remains

7. Cover the mixer bowl with some plastic wrap and place the bowl of cookie batter in the fridge to chill for at least 3 to 4 hours. 

   1. The longer you let your cookie batter chill, the better

8. Once the cookie batter has chilled, remove the bowl from the fridge and uncover the bowl

9. Scoop tablespoon size pieces of the chilled cookie batter into your hands

10. Gently roll the dough into a round ball

    1. Do note, this dough is very sticky!

11. Place the rolled cookie ball in a bowl with a ½ cup of powdered sugar

12. Use a spoon to cover and roll the balls around in the sugar until they are completely coated

13. Once the cookie dough balls are covered in sugar, gently lift the ball out, shake off any excess sugar and transfer the coated cookie ball to a parchment paper lined tray

    1. Be sure to leave some space between the cookies to ensure even baking

14. Continue rolling out the remaining cooking dough into small balls, coating them in powdered sugar, then transferring to the prepared baking sheet
