Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolate and butter over hot water. Stir. Cool. Beat eggs until foamy, then add sugar, 2 TBS at a time, beat until thickened (5 minutes with electric mixer). Blend in chocolate. Add flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, blend. Stir in vanilla and nuts. Drop by teaspoon full onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place pecan half on center. Bake until cookies feel "set" when very lightly touched, 8-10 minutes. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and immediately slide cookies on parchement paper onto cooling racks. Once cooled, peel paper from cookies. Allow to dry partially before storing.
This is my favorite holiday cookie.
