Ingredients

2 cup(s) all-purpose flour

1/2 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa

1 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder

1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon(s) salt

3/4 cup(s) granulated sugar

1/2 cup(s) (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened

1 large egg

1/2 cup(s) whole milk

Chocolate Glaze:

3 tablespoon(s) unsweetened cocoa

1 1/4 cup(s) confectioners' sugar

White candy decors for garnish

Directions

Prepare Cookies: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. In large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat granulated sugar with butter until blended, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Increase speed to high; beat until light and creamy. At low speed, beat in egg. Alternately beat in flour mixture and milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, just until combined, occasionally scraping bowl.

With cocoa-dusted hands, shape dough by level tablespoons into 1-inch balls. Place balls, 2 inches apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake cookies 7 to 9 minutes or until puffed (they will look dry and slightly cracked). Transfer cookies to wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.

Chocolate Glaze: When cookies cool, in medium bowl, with wire whisk or fork, gradually mix cocoa with 1/4 cup boiling water until smooth. Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar and blend well. Dip top of each cookie into glaze. Place cookies on wire rack set over waxed paper to catch any drips. Immediately sprinkle cookies with decors. Allow glaze to set, about 20 minutes. Store cookies, with waxed paper between layers, in tightly covered container at room temperature up to 3 days, or in freezer up to 3 months.

Serving size = 1 cookie
