Ingredients
- 100g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 350g Granulated Sugar
- 120mL Vegetable Oil
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 240g All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 120g Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Combine granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and vegetable oil in a large bowl and beat on medium speed until shiny and well-combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually mix into the chocolate base until just combined.
- Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and roll chilled dough into one-inch balls before coating them thoroughly in powdered sugar.
- Place balls two inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
Notes
To prevent the sugar from melting into the dough, keep the dough chilled between batches and handle it as little as possible. For a more intense flavor, try adding a pinch of espresso powder to the oil and cocoa mixture before mixing.
