Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp espresso powder (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, espresso powder (if using) and salt.
- Add oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and there are no dry spots.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Once chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
