Preparation

Step 1

Melt chocolate and butter in a small saucepan.
Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl till blended. Stir in chocolate to egg mixture until chocolate is incorporated. Slowly add flour, baking powder and salt. Continue to mix until all ingredients are well blended. Add nuts and gently stir until incorporated.
Form dough into a ball. Cut into 3 pieces. Wrap and chill until firm or for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
With floured hands, roll out each one piece of cookie dough into a 9 inch log. Repeat with remaining 2 pieces of dough. Place all 3 logs on cookie sheet about 3 inches apart.
Once logs are on cookie sheet, flatten with hands until logs are about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick. Bake for 30 minutes.
Carefully remove logs from cookie sheet with a spatula to a cutting board. Cut each log diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Arrange slices upright on cookie sheet. Bake an additional 20 minutes longer. Allow to cool.
