Instructions

Melt the unsweetened chocolate over simmering water, then let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, oil, melted chocolate, and vanilla; add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add this to the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated without overmixing.
Chill the dough for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop heaping teaspoons of dough and roll into balls; roll first in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar before baking.
Arrange cookies on baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes until tops are crackled and centers look just set.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure eggs are at room temperature for best incorporation into the batter.
Do not overmix after adding dry ingredients to maintain a tender crumb.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes to ensure even baking.
