How To

In a medium bowl, using a handheld or standing mixer beat the cocoa, sugar and vegetable oil. Add the eggs one at a time and continue beating for a few minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat.

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt.

Add the flour mixture to the cocoa mixture and beat on low until just combined.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2-3 hours in the fridge. Alternatively, you can put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit/176 Celsius.

Line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Roll the dough into small round balls (about the size of one ice cream scoop), and place on the lined baking tray, keeping about an inch between the cookies. Gently press down on the cookies to very slightly flatten them. Stick 2-3 chocolate chips in each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
