Description
Fudgy, crackly cookies dusted in powdered sugar with a soft, chewy center and crisp exterior.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Mix together the granulated sugar and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat in powdered sugar.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until puffy and cracked on top.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
