1 tbsp. butter
2 eggs
3/4 c. sugar

Melt chocolate and butter over hot water. Stir. Cool. Beat eggs until foamy, then add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time; beat until thickened (5 minutes on electric mixer). Blend in chocolate. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; blend. Stir in vanilla and nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto greased baking sheet. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) until cookies feel "set" when very lightly touched, 8 to 10 minutes.
