In a bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and mix in the cooled chocolate. In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, instant espresso coffee granules, baking powder, and salt together and with mixer on low add to the creamed butter mixture; then beat in the milk until combined. Cook's Note: Will make a sticky dough. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until firm, for about 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the icing sugar 2 times, letting them sit in the icing sugar in between coatings and completely covered so no dough shows. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheets 2-inches apart as the cookies will spread. Bake until the cookies have spread and cracked, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on a cookie sheet.

Why this David Rocco's Chocolate Espresso Cookies works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This David Rocco's Chocolate Espresso Cookies works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
