Each week this month we’ve featured some tasty cookie recipes for holiday baking. Today’s entry is one that my sister makes most every year for Christmas. It’s also my son’s most favorite cookie because who doesn’t like chocolate, right?
Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one inch balls. A cookie scoop makes this step very easy. Coat each ball in confectioners’ sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
This recipe makes 6 dozen cookies so you may want to cut it in half. However, these cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Enjoy!
