Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup icing sugar
(Nut, egg and dairy free)

Directions

  1. Using an electric mixer, combine granulated sugar, cocoa powder, applesauce, oil and vanilla until well blended.
  2. In another bowl, whisk flour with baking powder and salt.
  3. Add flour mixture to cocoa mixture in 3 parts, mixing each addition well with an electric mixer for a soft, wet batter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in fridge for 2 hours. It must be well chilled to roll, so don’t skip this step!
  4. Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Sift icing sugar into a shallow bowl. Scoop spoonfuls of dough and roll between your hands to make 11⁄2-in. balls. Roll them in icing sugar until well coated. The more sugar on the outside, the better the effect. Place on the baking sheets about 2 in. apart. Bake for 10 min — but check at 8. They should be puffed and just set, so they’ll have a soft, brownie-like texture. Cool completely on a rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
