Simple Cocoa Powder Cookies with Oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the neutral oil, light brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, whisking vigorously for 1 minute until the batter is glossy and slightly pale.
4. Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
5. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
7. Bake on the center rack for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly soft.
8. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
