Cocoa Crinkles

I think I got this one from Aunt Linda, but I'm not really sure. Doesn't matter. Yummy.

COCOA CRINKLES
¾ cup salad oil
¾ cup baking cocoa
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
powdered sugar for rolling

In a bowl, mix oil and cocoa together until blended. Stir in granulated sugar. Add eggs one at a time, stirring until well blended. Add vanilla. Stir flour, baking powder and salt into oil mixture. Chill dough several hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into powdered sugar. Roll in sugar and shape into balls, then roll again. Place balls about 2" apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until cookies have "crinkled." Cool slightly on sheet, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 6 dozen cookies.
