- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar

- Sift together 1 cup flour, ½ cup cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring gently until your dough looks uniform and no flour streaks remain.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or light cooking spray.

Notes
- Brew a strong, fresh coffee for maximum flavor depth in the cookies.

- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and create even browning.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour and add an extra egg for binding.
