Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine 3/4 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Blend on medium speed for 1 minute until smooth.
- Add 3 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and mix for about 30 seconds until fully incorporated. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix on medium speed for 1–2 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure the mixture is smooth.
- Mix in 2 cups all-purpose flour on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in 1 cup mini chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Freeze the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. If freezing longer than 30 minutes, ensure the dough is well covered with plastic wrap.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray.
- Scoop the chilled dough into 12–15 portions and roll each into a ball. Place 1/2 cup powdered sugar into a small bowl. Roll each ball thoroughly in the powdered sugar to coat. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12–13 minutes, until the cookies have puffed up and the tops are crackled. The edges should be set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
