Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Gold Medal All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar for coating

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, melted chocolate, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Stir in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Add in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to help it firm up.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cookie sheets with shortening or cooking spray.
  • Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled dough into the powdered sugar, rolling each piece around to coat completely.
  • Shape the dough into balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  • Remove the cookies immediately from the sheets and cool them on wire racks.

Notes

To enhance your experience, serve these cookies with cold milk or coffee. For a festive touch, dust with extra powdered sugar or package them in a cute tin as a gift.
