Chocolate Crackle Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
3/4 cup powdered baking cocoa, plus
2 tablespoons powdered baking cocoa (Hersheys brand)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Crackle coating
1 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Mix margarine and sugar in a large bowl.
Add oil and vanilla, mix.
Add eggs and mix.
Add flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, mixing all together.
Let chill for a couple hours or overnight.
Scoop dough into tablespoon balls using a scoop.
Roll in powdered sugar.
Place on greased pan.
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 11-12 minutes.
Let cool on rack.
NOTES:
You can make the cookies without letting the dough cool, it's just a bit sticky to work with.
I use a #40 cookie scoop which is about the size of a tablespoon.
I spray my pans for the first batch, but don't do it after that.
No need to flatten down the cookie, it will spread as it bakes.
If using a convection oven, set your temperature at 335\u00b0 and bake for 10-12 minutes.
