For the Chocolate Crinkle Cookies: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside until needed. In a large, microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate and the butter. Heat in the microwave, on low power, in 15 second increments, mixing in between each, until butter and chocolate are completely melted and can easily be whisked smooth. Set aside to cool briefly. In a large bowl whisk together both sugars and the eggs, beating until well combined. Beat in sour cream, oil, and vanilla. Then fold in the melted chocolate, stirring until evenly combined.
