Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1/3 cup (about 3 oz) chopped dark chocolate
1 large egg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Blend in butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add chocolate.

Whisk together egg and vanilla, then add to chocolate mixture; stir until slightly moistened. Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Shape dough into tablespoon-size balls, coat each with powdered sugar, and place 2″ apart on baking sheets. Bake for about 10 minutes until set but slightly undercooked. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Serve warm.
