"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
Heat oven to 350º

Melt the chocolate; sift the flour, salt, baking powder together
Mix sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla (or, how I make them, I mix the sugar, oil, cocoa, then the eggs and vanilla)
Add in the melted chocolate and mix.
Add the dry ingredients and mix.
Add nuts if you wish.
Cookie dough will be about as stiff as a chocolate chip or sugar cookie dough

You can chill this dough several hours or overnight if you wish.

Form dough into balls and roll in powdered sugar.

Bake on greased cookie sheet for 10 minutes.

Personal Notes:
Can be dairy free.

**this recipe calls for unsweetened chocolate, but I substituted vegetable oil and cocoa powder so I was 100% sure there was no dairy (substitution: I substituted 3Tbs. of regular Hershey’s cocoa powder and 1Tbs. of oil for each square, so I used about ¾ c. cocoa (or a little less) and ¼ c more of oil, for a total of 3.4 C. of oil)****
**I also did not refrigerate the dough; it’s just a little sticky if you don’t, but it’s workable. I bake only 10 minutes or a little less if the dough is warm**
