Recipe.
Ingredients
1/3 cup Neutral oil
100g Light or dark brown sugar
50g granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
5g Red food color
160g all-purpose flour
20g Cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp Baking soda
Powdered sugar and granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
1) Preheat the oven to 325°f / 165°c.
2) Line 1-2 sheet pans with parchment paper
3) In a medium bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, and red food colouring.
4) Whisk for about a minute, or mix using a handheld , until the mixture has thickened slightly and is well combined.
5) Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix to combine using a rubber Spatula
6) The dough will seem quite wet and a little oily – this is ok!
7)place a little granulated sugar in a small bowl and a little powdered sugar in a second small bowl.
8)Using a small size scoop scoop balls of cookie dough one at a time into the granulated sugar. Roll around to coat, shape gently into a ball, and then transfer to the powdered sugar bowl and shake well to coat generously.
9)Squeeze the ball of cookie dough gently in your hand to adhere as much powdered sugar as possible.
10)Place the ball of cookie dough onto the sheet pan – it is quite soft so it will flatten slightly when you place it on the pan, but do not flatten further.
Repeat with the remaining cookie dough balls until you have filled the pan.
11) Bake the cookies for 12 to 13 minutes, until they are set around the edges and puffed up.
12) Remove from the oven, and if desired, gently ‘scoot’ the cookies into a round shape using a cookie cutter slightly larger than a cookie (do this gently so the powdered sugar does not fall off).
13) Leave the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 to 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rackrack to cool completely.
14) Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
Notes
Neutral Oil is anything neutral tasting – canola, vegetable, etc.
