Ingredients:

• 100g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 290g of sugar
• 240 g all-purpose flour
• 120 ml of vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• A hint of vanilla extract
• A pinch of baking soda
• Powdered sugar, to coat

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar, and cocoa powder until completely integrated.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is well incorporated before adding the next one.
3. Sift in the flour and baking soda, mixing until the dough is uniform.
4. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 4 hours, which makes it easier to handle and shape the cookies.
5. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
6. Shape the chilled dough into balls. Generously roll each ball in the powdered sugar to coat well.
7. Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart as they will spread when baking.
8. Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies should be soft in the center but firm around the edges.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
