Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until frothy. Mix the melted chocolate and butter into the lukewarm egg mixture. Gradually stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Then form balls with a diameter of 2-3 cm, flatten slightly, and then roll vigorously in the powdered sugar until no more chocolate is visible. Place them next to each other on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, leaving 3 cm of space between the cookies. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius (top and bottom heat) for 8-10 minutes.
