CHOCOLATE SPICE COOKIES

If there's one thing me and my friends like to do when we get together after not seeing each other for a while it's baking. Today I met up with a friend who I've been seing more and more lately after not speaking to eachother for soooo long. We made these amazing spiced cookies (basically pumpkin spice without pumpkin if that makes any sense??) and I'm going to share the recipe with you guys!

These cookies are really easy to make and you've probably got all of the ingredients on hand already!



The recipe 

- Pre heat your oven to 180 degrees celsius -


Ingredients:
- 175 grams of flour
- 125 grams of butter
- 125 grams of brown sugar
- 1/2 tbs of cacao powder
- 1/2 tbs spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger) - we used a spice mix
- 4 tbs milk
- 3 tbs cream cheese
- 50 grams milk chocolate 
- 30 grams of butter
- 4 tbs icing sugar  
- some sprinkles

1. Mix the flour, brown sugar, cacao powder and spices
2. Melt the butter in the microwave and add it to the dry ingredients
3. Lastly add the milk until you can make a nice ball of dough 
4. Dust a flat surface with some icing sugar, roll out the dough and form the cookies from that
5. Put the cookies in the oven for 15-20 minutes
6. Put them on a cooling rack and let them cool completely before icing them

For the icing:
1. Melt the chocolate and the butter in the microwave (remeber to take it out and stir every 10-20 seconds)
2. Leave that to cool a bit and then add the cream cheese and icing sugar
