In another bowl, combine flour with baking powder, espresso powder, and salt; add flour mixture to chocolate mixture and mix just until combined; chill dough for 8-10 hours. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in confectioners’ sugar and place onto greased baking sheets.  Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, allowing them to rest on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
