Chocolate Crinkles


Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup cocoa
2 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup powdered sugar

Combine oil, sugar, applesauce, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined.  In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour baking powder and salt with a wire whisk.  Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined.  Put the dough into a ziploc bag and freeze until well chilled, about an hour (or chill in fridge at least 3-4 hours). 

Preheat oven to 350 and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.  Cut open the bag with scissors.  Lightly flour your hands with powdered sugar and scoop out about 1 inch balls of dough.  Roll dough into balls and drop into the powdered sugar.  Roll in sugar until completely covered in sugar.  Place 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheets.  Bake about 10 minutes (until cookies are just set) at 350.  Do not overbake.  Cool completely on cookie sheets.
