2 c. sugar
2 c. flour
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. shortening, melted
1/2 c. walnuts, chopped
4 squares chocolate, melted
Powdered sugar

Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla. Blend in melted chocolate and shortening. Sift dry ingredients together and stir into chocolate mixture. Add walnuts. Chill several hours or overnight. Shape in balls. Roll in powdered sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. (Remove from oven before they "look" done for moist, chewy cookie.) Yields 4 dozen.
