Mocha Crackle Cookies

4 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar

In a microwave, heat the butter, chocolate and coffee until chocolate is melted; cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and salt. Add sugar and brown sugar.
Stir in chocolate mixture; mix well. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture to form a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
Roll dough into 3/4-in. balls. Roll in confectioners' sugar; place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool. Makes about 5 dozen.
