  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  1. In a large bowl stir together the oil and sugar. Add the melted chocolate to this mixture. Add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time.
  2. In another bowl mix the dry ingredients except for the icing sugar.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Cover and chill in the fridge overnight.
  5. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the icing sugar into a bowl.
  6. Scoop out teaspoons of dough and shape them into balls. Then roll the balls into the icing sugar. Place about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on parchment covered cookie sheets. Rinse hands often during this procedure as it is very messy. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, no more!
