Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stove top pan, melt the unsweetened chocolate.
In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, beat the oil, sugar, vanilla extract and melted chocolate.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add flour, baking powder and salt and beat until combined. Dough will be sticky.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Gather a small amount of dough in a cookie scoop. Drop into your hands and roll into a ball. Drop the ball into the powdered sugar and coat well. Place onto the parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes. Do not over bake to ensure a chewy cookie!
Remove from oven and let sit on the tray for about 2-3 minutes. Then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
To freeze: store in an air tight container for up to 3 months. Place wax paper between layers.
