This is the absolute favorite cookie in my house. I've been using this exact recipe for the past 6-8 years which originally came from a high school cafeteria cookbook. It was tough trying to get this recipe, then after I got it, it was for 350 servings ! It's now scaled down to 4 dozen, but they don't last long...maybe 350 cookies IS the way to go ! ETA: Reviewers have added an extra cup of flour to the mix with success. I still make them as originally posted.

Steps:
- Mix margarine and sugar in a large bowl.
- Add oil and vanilla, mix.
- Add eggs and mix.
- Add flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt, mixing all together.
- Let chill for a couple hours or overnight.
- Scoop dough into tablespoon balls using a scoop.
- Roll in powdered sugar.
- Place on greased pan.
- Bake at 350° for 11-12 minutes.
- Let cool on rack.
- NOTES:.
- You can make the cookies without letting the dough cool, it's just a bit sticky to work with.
- I use a #40 cookie scoop which is about the size of a tablespoon.
- I spray my pans for the first batch, but don't do it after that.
- No need to flatten down the cookie, it will spread as it bakes.
- If using a convection oven, set your temperature at 335° and bake for 10-12 minutes.
