Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat eggs in a bowl and then whisk in the sugar.

Stir in melted chocolate until mixture is smooth.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Then stir it into the chocolate mixture.

Form into tablespoon-size balls of dough and place on cookie sheet.

Bake for 16 minutes and then transfer right away to a wire. Decorate with white chocolate and dark chocolate after melting chocolate and putting it in piping bags to draw stripes across the cookies.
