Ingredients
- 1 cup white all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling the cookies)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, coffee/espresso powder, and baking power.
- In a separate large bowl, preferably with an electric mixer, combine the vegetable oil and granulated sugar. Beat for 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until combined. Add in flour mixture, and mix until combined.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap (either in the bowl, or just dump it out onto the counter and form a disc). Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll in the powdered sugar to coat.
- Place on the prepared cookie sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes. When they come out they’ll be soft in the middle and slightly crisp on the outside.
