|
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
|
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
|
1 tsp baking powder
|
1/4 tsp salt
|
1/4 cup canola oil
|
1 cup sugar
|
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
|
4 egg whites, unbeaten
|
2 cups confectioners' sugar
|
2-3 Tbsp skim milk, approx
|
additional unsweetened cocoa powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large non-stick cookie sheet with vegetable oil spray.
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together; set aside. Mix together the oil, sugar, 1 tsp of the vanilla, and the egg whites until well combined. Stir in the flour mixture. Chill one hour. Using a 1/2 Tbsp measure, scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and cooked through. Do not overcook.
Transfer the cookies to a rack and cool completely. Mix together the confectioners` sugar, skim milk, and remaining 1/2 tsp vanilla until pasty. Add skim milk if necessary. Spread a small amount of vanilla frosting on each cookie. Put the cookies back on the rack, dust lightly with cocoa powder, and allow the frosting to dry.
