Instructions
0 In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. 1 In a large bowl, combine oil, water, sugar, and vanilla and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes to fully combine. 2 Add vinegar and food coloring and whisk for another 30 seconds. 3 Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir and mix to combine so there are no traces of flour remaining. 4 Using an ice cream scoop or two tablespoons, scoop cookie dough onto one or two plates so they are not touching. You will get 10-15 cookies. The dough will seem wet, that's ok. 5 Freeze for 15 minutes. Meanwhile put a heap of powdered sugar onto a shallow plate and set aside. 6 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 7 Remove cookies from the freezer and roll each ball with your hands briefly, then toss around in the powdered sugar covering the outside completely. 8 Place on two parchment covered baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes until just set in the middle. Do not overbake, they will continue to harden as they cool. 9 When baked, cool on the baking pans for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. 10 Enjoy!View original recipe
