Ingredients

  • 1 cup cocoa powder Dutch-processed
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the cocoa powder, sugar, oil and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer on low speed until combined.
  2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and stir together until well combined.
  4. Cover the mixing bowl with a kitchen towel and place in the refrigerator to chill for 4 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll in your hands to form a ball and then roll each ball in the powdered sugar to coat.
  7. Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • We use Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder. It's a Dutch-processed cocoa. Any variety of unsweetened cocoa powder will work in these cookies. Natural cocoa powder will produce a lighter colored cookie and Dutch-process will produce a darker cookie. Both should taste similar in the end result and either may be used, but we do prefer Dutch-processed.
