Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

½ c. oil
4 T. margarine
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 t. vanilla
2 c. flour
2 t. baking powder
½ t. salt
¾ c. cocoa
Powdered sugar

Mix oil, butter and sugar. Blend in 1 egg at a time until well mixed. Add vanilla. Stir flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa into sugar mixture. Mix well. Chill dough. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into powdered sugar and roll into 1” balls. Put on greased cookie sheet (or use parchment paper). Place balls 2” apart. Don’t press down.
Bake 10 minutes.

*I chill my dough overnight. The dough gets really sticky if left out of the fridge very long; in between batches keep dough in the fridge.
