Chocolate Crinkles

from Bread and Honey

I got into a baking mood and thought I would try a new cookie recipe. These were great and turned out so pretty.



1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar and oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough and chill for at least an hour.

Preheat oven to 350. Roll the cookie dough into 1 inch balls and coat each ball in confectioners' sugar before placing on a prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, let stand on cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool .
