Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the melted chocolate and mix until combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until thoroughly coated.
- Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the tops are crackled but the centers are still soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
