This recipe is one that I lost and then my wife found again. I originally got this recipe off a friend in University. I must of made it for my wife once before we got married. After we got married and move in together I couldn’t find the recipe. Years later she brought me this recipe that she got from a co-worker. I’m not sure it is exactly the same and the name is different but overall it is close enough. So if any of you know these by another name please leave a comment. I would love to remember the name I originally knew them by.
This recipe also resulted in one of my SAHD jokes. One morning I found this recipe carefully placed on the kitchen counter. I asked my wife if this was a subtle hint. Her response was that there was nothing subtle about it.
You know you are a SAHD when you find a recipe card on the counter left by your wife as a hint to what she wants.
These are fun to make and look really cool when they go from white balls to all crinkled.
- ¾ C Oil
- ¾ C Cocoa
- 2 C Sugar
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 2 C Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 C icing sugar (To roll the cookies in)
- Mix the oil, sugar, cocoa, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into the wet ingredients. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Roll teaspoonfuls into balls and toss in the icing sugar. Place on a greased pan or use parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
