chocolate crinkles

the first time I taste this, I started to love it. I was in college then when I started to buy on our local store. I ask my lola if she knows the recipe for this. Luckily, she knows. I started to make this for my family and they love it.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
parchment paper

preparation:

1.In a medium bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
2.In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir flour mixture into the cocoa mixture.
3.Cover dough bowl with plastic wrap, put in refrigerator, and chill for at least 4 hours.
4.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5.Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
6.Roll the dough into one inch balls (a number 50 size scoop works well). Coat each ball in powdered sugar before placing onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.
7.Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cooked cookies stand on the cookie sheet for at least 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
