Preparation
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
STEP 2
Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, salt, oil and water together well.
STEP 3
Take a couple of spoonful’s of dough. On a clean surface, roll dough by hand into a log about one-inch thick. Cut the log into about one-inch cookies. Lay cookies evenly spaced on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
STEP 4
Bake cookies for 12 minutes.
STEP 5
For frosting, mix powdered sugar, cocoa powder and a little warm milk until smooth. It will use less milk than you think so add it slowly while constantly mixing. Top each cookie with a little spoonful of frosting while they are still warm.
