Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder (I like Hershey's Special Dark)
- 2 cups sugar
- 5 eggs (use 4 eggs at lower elevations)
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 cup sugar for rolling--powdered looks pretty, but granulated is less messy!

Instructions
- Mix oil, cocoa, and sugar well in a large mixer bowl.
- Blend in one egg at a time until mixed well. Add vanilla.
- Gradually blend in flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Chill dough for several hours (overnight is best).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease several cookie sheets.
- Use a cookie scoop or teaspoon to shape dough. Roll dough in sugar (either granulated or powdered) and place on prepared sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-14 minutes, until set and tops begin to crack. Don't overbake. These are best soft!
