In a stand mixer, whip together the margarine and sugar until fluffy. In small bowl mix baking powder, oil and water. Add baking powder mixture and vanilla to margarine and sugar mixture. Blend well.
In separate bowl mix all dry ingredients. Gradually add small amounts of flour mixture to the sugar mixture.
Once well blended, put in covered bowl and put in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 2 hours. Once chilled, preheat oven to 350 °F. Scoop about 1 Tbsp or enough dough to make about a 1 inch ball. Roll in hands to make ball. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake approximately 10 – 12 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
