light, airy chocolate cookies... help me find a recipe

Anonymous
My coworker just brought in some very yummy cookies. They are chocolate, rolled in powdered sugar so that they crack and look pretty. They were chocolately but not overly dense or fudgey. Perfect and light! She said the recipe was from Marcel Desaulniers, some one who is apparently known for chocolate recipes. I don't have time to get the book (just looked him up and don't even know what book to get!) or go to the library but would love some sort of copy cat recipe, or at least a name that I can google. I can't search through images on Google all day.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Do these kind of cookies have a name? Bonus points if you have a recipe you enjoy!

In general, those cookies are called Chocolate Crackle Cookies.
