Ingredients
4 oz. unsweetened bakers chocolate
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Directions
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer to blend together the oil and granulated sugar.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in the melted chocolate and the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture gradually. Mix until the dough is well combined and a little stiff.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Pour your confectioners’ sugar in a bowl and set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick liner.
- When dough is chilled, make 1-inch balls by rolling a spoonful of dough in your hand.
- Roll each dough ball in confectioners’ sugar and place on the lined baking sheet about 1 to 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes (take them out after 10 minutes if you want them soft and gooey), and then let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing.
Tip: This recipe requires the dough to chill for 30 minutes.
