Ingredients:

  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 3 tbsp. baking powder
  • 5 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. ground cloves
  • 2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup corn or canola oil
  • 2/3 cup milk

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt. Stir in walnuts and chocolate chips.
  3. In a separate bowl combine eggs, oil and milk.
  4. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and mix together until a firm dough is formed. (Start mixing by spoon, but switch over to using your hands - you will almost have to knead it to get the wet and dry ingredients thoroughly combined, but they WILL come together!)
  5. With lightly oiled hands, roll dough into 1 1/2 balls. (Note: The verbal recipe indicated roll into walnut-sized balls , but I think my walnuts are bigger than hers! :) I like to go with about 1 1/2 balls - they will puff up a bit, so use your discretion.)
  6. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake 10 to 12 minutes; let cool 3 to 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. FOR ICING: Combine 2 cups confectioner's sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla extract and enough milk to make a thin (but not too thin) icing (approximately 2 tbsp.). Mix until smooth and drizzle over cooled cookies or dip tops of cookies into icing and let stand until dry.
