Holy cow, we made it! Pulled off another year with 12 consecutive recipe posts for the holidays. To say that I’m a bit tired would be an understatement, but it’s all been worth it. And these delectable cookies help to show it.

Total time:
Serves: 4 dozen
Ingredients
  • 1 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. vegetable oil
  • 1/3 c. chocolate soymilk (or other nondairy chocolate milk)
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 T. baking powder
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cocoa powder, sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until well combined.
  2. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir just until ingredients are incorporated into a dough. If the mixture is a little too dry, add more milk until it forms a cookie dough-like texture.
  3. Place dough in refrigerator and let chill for at least an hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  5. Pour powdered sugar into a small bowl or shallow dish.
  6. With clean hands take pieces of the chilled dough (about a tablespoon of dough per cookie) and form them into round balls. Roll each ball around in powdered sugar until it is coated generously.
  7. Bake cookies on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet for about 13 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and the crust appears crackled.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest on the pan for 15 minutes before removing the cookies to a cooling rack with a spatula.
  9. Enjoy!

These cookies have an amazing fudgy flavor and no one will be the wiser that there’s no animal products in the recipe! Which is great if you’re a vegan, cooking for a vegan, lactose challenged, or just looking for an awesome cookie.
