Chocolate Crinkles

1/2 c vegetable oil (I used coconut oil)
4 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 c sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 c rice flour mix (I also used a little garbanzo bean flour)
1/2 t xanthan gum
1/4 t salt
1 t baking powder
confectioners sugar

Mix oil, chocolate, and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each. Add vanilla. Measure flour by "dip-level-pour" method. Stir into chocolate mix along with salt, xanthan gum, and baking powder. Chill several hours or overnight. Heat oven to 350. Form dough into balls (it will be stiff) and roll in confectioners sugar to coat. Place about 2" apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake about 10-14 minutes.

I made my own confectioner sugar because traditional confectioner sugar has corn in it. You use a ratio of 1 cup white sugar to 1 tablespoon starch (I used potato starch). You put the sugar in a blender or coffee grinder and pulvarize it. It's not quite as fine as the store-bought kind, but it works well.

These cookies are awesome with or without coconut oil, but using high quality coconut oil adds just a touch of coconut flavor. Wow
