Chocolate Spice Cookies

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 6 tablespoons cocoa
• 1 egg
• 1 cup oil
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon clove
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup brewed coffee
• 1 tablespoon brewed coffee
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon milk

Directions

1. 1

   Mix all dry ingredients (except powdered sugar) in large bowl. Mix all wet ingredients in a small bowl, and combine with dry ingredients. NOTE: This comes out better if you mix by hand with a wooden spoon - just until combined so you don't overwork the dough.

2. 2

   Shape into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheet.

3. 3

   Bake for 8-12 min at 350. Cool on rack for 15-20 minute

4. 4

   Mix milk and powdered sugar to make icing. You may need to adjust the amount of milk to get the icing to the consistency you want. I like it the consistency of molasses or a little thicker than maple syrup.

5. 5

   Drizzle on cookies and enjoy!
