- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix oil, melted chocolate and granulated sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until well mixed. Add vanilla. Mix dry ingredients together and stir into oil mixture. Cover and chill dough for several hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put a teaspoonful of chilled dough in the palm of your hands and make a ball. Roll the ball of dough around in the powdered sugar until all it's surface is covered. Place the balls of dough about 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
Bake about 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake. Over baking changes the texture of the cookies from a soft cookie to a harder cookie.
