Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cookie dough
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
For rolling
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and let cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until mixed.
  3. Add the melted chocolate, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, mix baking powder, salt, and flour. Gradually add this mixture to the chocolate mixture until a dough forms.
  5. Cover and chill the dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll the chilled dough into balls and then roll each ball in powdered sugar.
  3. Place the sugared balls on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies can be paired with milk, coffee, or ice cream. Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft.
