Ingredients
2 cups plain flour

1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup caster sugar
⅓ cup icing sugar
Method
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, mixed spice and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil and caster sugar, then pour into the dry ingredients. Fold until well combined, then cover and set aside in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 160°C fan bake and line two baking trays. Roll heaped tablespoons of the cookie mixture into balls.
Sieve the icing sugar into a shallow bowl or plate. Roll the cookie balls in the icing sugar to coat, then place on the prepared baking trays. Press to flatten slightly then bake for 10-12 minutes or until just firm and crackled.
Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
