Fudgy Macadamia Cookies

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or regular margarine, softened
1 tsp vanilla
2 ozs unsweetened baking chocolate, melted and cooled
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts**
** Macadamia nuts are definitely pricey. If you do not wish to
use them, feel free to use the nut of your choice in this recipe.

Heat oven to 350 F. Beat the sugar, butter, vanilla, chocolate, and egg in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed or mix well using a wooden spoon. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the nuts. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in the center. Cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Yield: about 2 dozen
