Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, melted chocolate, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and chill for at least a few hours or overnight.
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Shape and Coat: Roll teaspoons of chilled dough into small balls. Roll each ball in confectioners’ sugar until well coated.
- Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and crackled. Do not overbake.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling: Chilling the dough is crucial for these cookies, as it helps them hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much during baking.
- Rolling in Sugar: Make sure the dough balls are well coated in confectioners’ sugar for the signature crackled appearance.
- Doneness: The cookies are done when they are set and the edges are slightly firm. They will continue to cook as they cool.
- Storage: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
