Ingredients:  
1 cup flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

Directions:
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325º. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in bowl.

Whisk brown sugar, eggs, espresso powder (if using), and vanilla together in large bowl. Combine chocolate and butter in a bowl and microwave at 50% power, stirring occasionally, until melted, 2-3 minutes.

Whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture until combined. Fold in flour mixture until no dry streaks remain. Let dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Place granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in separate shallow dishes. Working with 3 tablespoons dough at a time, roll into balls. Drop dough balls into granulated sugar and roll to coat. Transfer dough balls to confectioners sugar and roll to coat evenly. Evenly space dough balls on prepared sheets, 11 per sheet.

Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until puffed and cracked and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will look raw between cracks and seem underdone), about 12 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let cook completely on sheet before serving.

Makes 22 cookies.
