1. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookies: Put the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the egg and vanilla and mix well, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream in thirds and mix just until combined. Stir with a rubber spatula.
3. Using a standard (2¼-inch) ice cream scoop, place 5 level scoops of batter 2 inches apart on each of the prepared sheet pans. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate and switch the pans from the top to bottom rack to bake the cookies evenly. Bake until the edges are lightly browned and a cake tester comes out clean, another 6 to 8 minutes. (Don't overbake them!) Cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack set over a sheet pan to cool completely.
4. Make the Glazes: For the chocolate glaze, place the butter, chocolate and coffee in a heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture and continue to microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate is almost melted, allowing the residual heat to finish melting the chocolate completely. Stir the mixture vigorously, until smooth. Turn the cookies so the flat side is up. Hold the cookie in your hand and, with a spoon, carefully pour the chocolate glaze on half of the cookie, forming a straight line down the middle. Allow the glaze to set for 30 minutes.
