Ingredients

  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (118 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (109 g) vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup (62.5 g) confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • To a large bowl, add sugar, cocoa powder, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • To a separate bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the cocoa mixture stirring until well combined.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
  • When ready, preheat oven to 350°. Line a few baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • To a small bowl, add confectioners' sugar.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, form dough balls. The dough will be sticky. Roll each in the confectioners' sugar, ensuring they are completely coated. Place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may appear slightly undercooked but will firm up as they cool.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
