Ingredients
- •2 eggs (110 g)
- •1/2 cup cocoa powder (60 g)
- •2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (400 g)
- •1 cup sugar (200 g)
- •1/3 cup oil (80 ml)
- •1/2 tablespoon baking soda (6 g)
- •Powdered sugar
- •Granulated sugar
Instructions
- 1
Place the eggs and 1 cup of sugar in a bowl and mix until well combined.
- 2
Add the oil and mix, then add the cocoa powder and mix well.
- 3
Add the flour and baking soda and stir well. When you can no longer mix with a spatula or spoon, start kneading with your hands. The dough should not be stiff; it should remain slightly sticky. Watch the video to see the right consistency.
- 4
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 20 minutes. The dough needs to be firm enough to shape.
- 5
Once chilled, use a spoon to scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls about the size of a medium brigadeiro, a Brazilian chocolate truffle.
- 6
Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar to create a coating around the cookie, then roll it in powdered sugar. Be generous so that the ball is completely covered; this will create the crinkled effect.
- 7
Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them as they will double in size.
- 8
Bake in an oven preheated to 160°C for approximately 15 minutes.
- 9
The cookies will still be soft when they come out of the oven. Let them cool before removing them from the baking sheet.

You probably won't be able to bake all the cookies at once. I baked mine in 3 batches, so keep the dough in the refrigerator until you are ready to shape the next batch. It needs to stay firm enough to shape.
