Equipment

Ingredients

1/4 cup (60 ml) oil (vegatable or canola)
1/3 cup (80 ml) evaporated milk
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (60 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee (optional)
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar (for coating the cookies)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, evaporated milk, sugar, cocoa, instant coffee (if using), and vanilla until the sugar is dissolved and everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and stir to combine.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up 2 days.
Preheat oven to 350º F (180º C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1.5 tablespoons) and coat each ball generously in powdered sugar. Place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To extend the shelf life for a few more days, place it in the fridge.

Make-Ahead: Wrap dough with plastic wrap, then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you’re ready for cookies, roll dough into balls, coat with powdered sugar, and bake.

Freezing the Dough: Wrap dough with plastic wrap, then place it in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, stick cookie dough in the fridge overnight. When ready to bake, roll into balls and coat with powdered sugar.

Extra tips:

Try to make the dough a day ahead, it really needs time to set up and will be so much easier to roll.
Measure the ingredients properly! A kitchen scale is always the best option, in my opinion.
Don’t over mix your cookie dough or you will end up with a dense cookie.
Chill the dough for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) minutes before baking, this gives the dough a chance to firm up a little and allows them to bake much better.
For evenly sized cookies (better for baking) use a small spring-loaded ice cream scoop to spoon out the dough.
Bake the cookies until they are JUST until they start to develop those signature cracks on top. Typically, this takes anywhere from 8 - 10 minutes depending on their size.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for just 2 - 3 minutes. If you leave the cookies on the baking sheets for too long, they will continue cooking and they will be hard.
