Preheat oven to 350 . Spray a large nonstick cookie sheet with vegetable
oil
spray.
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt together. Set aside. Mix
together the oil, sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla and the egg whites until well
combined. Stir in the flour mixture. Chill for one hour. Using a 1/2 Tbsp.
measure, scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between
cookies. Bake for 8-10 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 unsil
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.
