Directions
Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃) and set rack in the middle level of the oven.
Cover 2 large cookie sheets or jelly roll pans with parchment or foil.
Mix the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt and sift into a mixing bowl.
Stir in the sugar and nuts.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla and stir into the flour mixture to form a dough.
On a lightly floured surface, press dough together.
Divide dough in half and ro ll into a log the length of the pan (14 to 18 inches). Place each log on the pan and flatten slightly.
