Sift cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and mix on low until incorporated.

Cover and chill until dough is firm enough to handle, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place confectioner's sugar in a medium bowl.
Form chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll in confectioners' sugar to coat completely.

Bake 12 minutes, or until cookies are puffed up and surfaces have cracked apart.
(The center will still appear underdone).
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
