It is also the perfect dessert dish to make on various special occasions such as birthdays and family get togethers. If you too want to make this dish, then follow the recipe down below.

The ingredients needed to make this dish are as follows:

• 1 cup of all purpose flower
• 1 and a half cup of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• half a cup of granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar (packed)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup of confectioner’s sugar (for the coating)

Recipe:

• You take a small bowl and add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into it. You whisk these ingredients together until they combine. Then you keep it to a side. 
• Then you take a medium bowl and put vegetable oil and sugar in it. Then you take a hand mixer, put it on medium low speed and whisk these ingredients together until they combine.
• Then, at a time, add vanilla and eggs into the mixture and continue to whisk until the all the ingredients come together. 
• Then you combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture and whisk them both together but on low speed. 
• Once combined, you then place a plastic wrap on the bowl and let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight. 
• If you do plan on letting them chill overnight, then do take them out 10-20 minutes before rolling them into balls. This allows them to get some warmth which makes them thinner and easier to spread. 
• Then you preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a half sheet baking pan with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside. Place confectioners’ sugar into a shallow plate.
• You then remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Then, through a cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough one by one and roll them into a ball. 
• Once they are rolled into a ball, you coat them in confectioners’ sugar. You then take the coated cookie doughs and place them two inches apart on the lined baking sheet. 
• Place them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until they set. Once you take them out from the oven, you let them cool for a bit. Let these cookies cool in the baking sheet for five minutes. After that transfer them to a wire cooling rack to allow them to cool completely.
