I haven't posted a recipe in awhile. And I haven't baked in awhile, either. But it was time for a new cookie. I wanted something chocolaty. Devin wanted something soft and chewy. We found the perfect cookies! And they're seriously delicious.
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
In mixing bowl, mix together cocoa white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt, then mix into cocoa mixture.
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or the freezer for 1. Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper (or lightly grease them). Roll dough into 1 inch balls, coat in powdered sugar, press down on dough balls softly with the bottom of a glass to flatten them just a little bit, and bake for 12-15 minutes. (This batch made me 4 dozen, and by the 3rd dozen, the dough was getting really soft and hard to work with. I just put it in the freezer for a few minutes uncovered and let it firm up, and it was totally fine after that! The dough is much easier to work with then it's really cold.)
Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute or two before transferring to a cooling rack. Devour while warm with milk. :)
Simple, right? I love recipes that don't require any special ingredients. These are things I almost always have in my pantry, so I can make them on short notice for parties, or... to satisfy cravings :)
