Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup chocolate chips optional
  • 1 cup icing sugar for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and eggs until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to wet until fully incorporated. The mixture should resemble a thick brownie batter. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine icing sugar and granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  • Roll chilled dough into rounded tablespoon balls, dusting hands with icing sugar as needed. Roll cookies in icing sugar, then place on prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are firm. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking pans before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
