# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
02 - In a large bowl, combine sugar and vegetable oil. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
03 - Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. The dough should be sticky.
04 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the dough firms up for handling.
05 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
06 - Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Use a tablespoon to scoop dough portions, rolling each into approximately 1-inch diameter balls. Roll thoroughly in powdered sugar to coat.
07 - Position dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets to allow space for spreading.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until cookies puff and crackle on top yet remain soft at the center.
09 - Let cookies rest on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
