Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Chocolate Drop Sugar Cookies

We took these wonderfully chocolate cookies to a family cookout and they were a huge hit.

Chocolate Drop Sugar Cookies

1 cup dairy free margarine, melted
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbsp water, 1 1/2 tbsp oil and 1 tsp baking powder - mixed together
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Combine the margarine and cocoa. Add the sugar, vanilla and water-oil-baking powder mixture then stir to combine. Add the flour, baking soda and salt then stir until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be very moist, so place the mixing bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes so that the dough is easier to roll. Once the dough is chilled, roll it into 1" balls. Place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes or until set. Allow the cookies to set on the baking sheet for a minute before removing to wax paper to cool completely.
*  If desired, you can roll the balls in colored sugar sprinkles or plain sugar before baking.
*  Safe chocolate chips or flaked coconut can be stirred into the batter.
