Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

I was first introduced to these cookies by a friend a little over two years ago. They are his favorite cookie and he would make a bunch and keep them in the freezer, then take one out and microwave it when he wanted one. It was a good thing they weren't just sitting on the counter because I would have gobbled them all up, no doubt!

I found this recipe on AllRecipes and although it wasn't the same as the first one I had, the basic chocolate and powdered sugar extravaganza was still in effect.

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

In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one inch balls. Coat each ball in confectioners' sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
