Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Ingredients 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 4 eggs 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp.salt 1 cup powdered sugar Instructions In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa powder, sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt into the cocoa mixture. Cover with clear or foil wrap and chill for at least 2 to 4 hours. The dough will be very sticky and needs to be chilled before you can make balls for these cookies. PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Change the oven rack to the center of oven. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls or slightly larger, using a teaspoon or use a number 50 size scoop. Coat each ball with powdered sugar and place them 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, for soft chew cookies, and 10 to 12 minutes for crunchier cookies. Do not over bake. The cookies will have a shiny appearance when you take them out the oven. Allow cookies rest for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
