Preparation Steps

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
• Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then coat each with powdered sugar.
• Place balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes or until the cracks form but cookies remain soft.
• Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
