3 beaten eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 squares (4 oz) unsweetened chocolate,

melted

1/2 cup cooking oil

2t baking powder

2t vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

Sifted powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl stir together the beaten

eggs, sugar, melted chocolate, cooking oil, baking

powder, and vanilla. Gradually add flour to

the chocolate mixture, stirring til thoroughly

combined. Cover and chill for 1 to 2 hours or til

the dough is easy to handle (15 minutes in the

freezer actually can work, too- A.P.)

Shape dough into 1" balls. Roll the balls in powdered

sugar to coat. Place balls 1" apart onto

ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in a 375 d. oven for 8-10 minutes or til

edges are set and tops are cracked. Remove

cookies and cool on wire racks. If desired,

sprinkle with additional powdered

sugar. Makes about 18.
