1½ cups all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt

⅔ cup sugar
2 tablespoons coffee

Instructions

Melt chocolate and butter together in a double boiler. Whisk until smooth.
Mix together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
In an electric mixer, whisk together eggs and sugar for 2 minutes. Reduce to low speed and stir in the melted chocolate, coffee and vanilla.
Stir in dry ingredients. Refrigerate the dough until firm, about an hour.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Scoop or form the cookies into balls, each about 1 tablespoon.
Put confectioners (or powdered) sugar in a bowl and roll each of the balls in the sugar. Place on parchment lined baking sheets several inches apart.
Bake for 13-15 minutes until crackled on top. Remove from the oven and gently press a walnut half in the middle of each warm cookie.
Once cool, store in an airtight container.
