Instructions: Stir the chocolate in a small heavy saucepan over low heat until melted. Cool. Combine the eggs, sugar, melted chocolate, oil, baking powder and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Gradually add the flour, stirring until combined. Cover; chill for 2 hours, or until easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Shape the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops cracked.

While still hot, press a kiss into the center of each cookie. Cool on a wire rack. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B).
