In general, liquid oils aren’t a direct replacement for margarine or butter; if using, you will likely need a smaller amount. In this recipe, I specifically use oil so that the cookies maintain their shape. These soft chocolatey cookies are coated in a delicious dusting of powdered sugar.

 

Yield: 20 to 22 cookies

Directions

1.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

2.

In the bowl of a mixer, cream sugar and oil for two minutes, or until mixture is light and fluffy.

3.

Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add flour mixture and mix on medium-low speed until combined. Form dough into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least two hours and up to 24 hours.

4.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

5.

Unwrap the dough and form into one-inch balls. Pour powdered sugar onto a plate. Roll balls in powdered sugar until fully coated.

6.

Transfer to a Gefen Parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for three minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Variations:

For a Mexican twist, add in 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dry ingredient mixture.
