These cookies are one of our favorites to make at Christmastime! The powdered sugar on top looks like snow on top of these fudgy, festive treats. You can also pop these in a freezer bag to save for holiday get-togethers or to give out later as Christmas gifts!
What you’ll need:
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Directions:
PC: Maria Magee
In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, mix vegetable oil, vanilla, and eggs. Slowly add the dry mixture until combined.
Cover and chill the dough for a few hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Put the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and roll in the powdered sugar until it is covered. (This doesn’t have to be perfect, there can be some cookie dough showing!)
Space cookies at least two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. (The tops of the cookies will have cracks on them)
Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
Tip: You can swap out an equal amount of gluten free flour if you prefer!(I use Bob’s Redmill Gluten-Free Baking Flour)
