# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 0.25 teaspoon salt
02 - 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 60 millilitres milk
05 - 60 millilitres vegetable oil
06 - 200 grams granulated sugar
07 - 45 grams cocoa powder
08 - 130 grams all-purpose flour

→ Coating

09 - 60 grams powdered sugar

# Steps:

01 - Don't rush moving the cookies. Let them sit on the tray for a bit. After they've settled, switch them over to a wire rack so they cool down completely.
02 - Toss the tray into your hot oven. Let the cookies bake about 10 or 12 minutes. They're done once you spot those awesome cracks on top.
03 - Lay out your sugar-coated dough balls on the tray with parchment underneath. Give them some space to spread out.
04 - Grab bits of dough, roll them into little balls, then coat each one really well with powdered sugar so they're covered all over.
05 - Wrap up the dough bowl with some plastic. Pop it in your fridge for half an hour so it gets nice and firm.
06 - Take your dry mix and slowly pour it into the wet mix, stirring as you go. Keep at it until it all comes together like a big doughy blob.
07 - In the bigger bowl, dump in the sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla. Stir it up till you don't see any chunks and it looks silky.
08 - Toss the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Use your whisk until everything's mixed up evenly.
09 - Fire up your oven so it's heating to 175°C. Make sure you're ready to bake soon after.

# Notes:

01 - Stir in some chocolate chips for extra delicious bites before you put the dough in the fridge.
02 - Keep these cookies fresh by sealing them in an airtight box. That way they stay soft.
