Chocolate Crinkles

An old favorite, and oh-so-good! I think this is my favorite cookie... well, definitely in the top three!






1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl combine oil, melted chocolate, and sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until well mixed. Add vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt together, then stir into chocolate mixture a little at a time. Chill dough for several hours or overnight. When ready to bake cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough by heaping teaspoonful into balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place 2" apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 6 dozen.
