Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dutch-process cocoa powder
- 2 cups sugar (may reduce to taste)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a medium bowl or stand up mixer stir together cocoa powder, sugar, applesauce, oil, extracts until well blended. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Remove chilled dough and roll into balls about one tablespoon each. Toss in the powdered sugar, coating fully.
Bake for 12-13 minutes (cookies should be slightly underbaked). Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.
