Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, chipotle, and salt. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Beat until pale, light and creamy; about 5 minutes. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; beat just until combined. Fold in flour mixture, then chopped chocolate chips. In small bowl, whisk together dusting ingredients.

Drop by 1/2 c on baking sheets, 2" apart. Sprinkle with dusting mixture. Bake 16 minutes, until cracked but not firm. Cool completely on sheets.
