Preheat oven to 325. Grease three cookie sheets. Melt chocolate with butter in double boiler over simmering water. Cool. Beat eggs with sugar in mixer bowl until ribbon forms when beaters are lifted, 10 minutes.

Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and
salt in a bowl. Stir into chocolate mixture just until combined (do not overmix). Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Drop batter by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets. Bake 7-8 minutes, until barely firm and tops are slightly cracked. Cool on
cookie sheets 2 minutes then on wire racks.

Dip 1 side of cooled cookies in melted chocolate.
