Preparation

Step 1

1. Line two cookie sheet pans with foil and set aside.
2. Melt half of the chocolate with the butter in the top of a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat; add vanilla and cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, roughly chop the remaining chocolate and set aside.
3. To make cookie batter, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light yellow, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour mixture and melted chocolate, beat for 1 minute. Fold in the chopped chocolate and nuts.
4. Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto the prepared cookie sheet pans about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated, 325 degreesF oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until just firm. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet pans.
