Christmas Chocolate Drops

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325u00b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil or parchment paper.

2. 2

   Melt half of the dark chocolate (17 pieces) with the butter in the top of a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, roughly chop the remaining chocolate; set aside.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; set aside.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and light yellow, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour mixture and cooled chocolate and beat for 1 minute. Fold in the remaining chopped chocolate and nuts.

5. 5

   Drop tablespoonfuls of batter 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake 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.
