Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
2 cups granulated white sugar
0.5 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 cup confectioners sugar for coating

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For the best 'crinkle' effect, ensure the dough is very cold before rolling and do not skimp on the powdered sugar coating. You can freeze the rolled, sugar-coated dough balls for up to 3 months and bake directly from frozen, adding 2 minutes to the bake time.
