From Simply Recipes

Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups  all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:
1.  In a large mixing bowl beat together with an electric mixer the cocoa powder, white sugar and vegetable oil.  Mix until the dough is shiny and gritty - like brownie batter.
2. Add the eggs one at a time until incorporated in the batter then add next egg.  Once all eggs have been added beat in the vanilla extract.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients a spoonful at a time mixing until incorporated into the batter.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.  Place the confections' sugar in a wide bowl.
7. Using about a rounded teaspoon scoop out the dough and roll into a ball.  Roll the ball into the confections' sugar and place on the baking sheet.  Repeat until there are 12 cookies on each sheet.
8. Place in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes rotating sheets halfway through baking.  Allow the cookies to cool for about 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. Repeat until all the dough has been used.
