Ingredients
Method
- In a small bowl whisk all- purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk granulated sugar, vegetable oil and black cocoa powder until well combined.
- Mix in eggs one at a time then add the vanilla extract.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. The dough will be very sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop chilled dough then generously roll in confectioners' sugar and place on a lined baking sheet (be sure to adjust the baking time if your cookies are smaller/larger).
- Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes. They will look a little gooey but will continue to bake as they cool.

Notes
The use of black cocoa powder is what sets these cookies apart; its intense flavor and dark color create a rich, chocolatey profile that is both unique and visually striking. This ingredient also contributes to a chewy texture, as its high fat content interacts beautifully with the sugars and eggs, creating that signature crinkle.
