Spiced chocolate cookies

Hey guys!

Have you been enjoying the first week of december?

I am..:)

On saturday I made these lovely cookies. I only had two eggs left and was too lazy to go buy some, so I searched for a recipe with one or two eggs.

I ended up choosing a normal chocolate cookie recipe and changing it up to be more christmas-y...

It`s simple, fast , you don`t need a lot of ingridients BUT they are extremely delicious nonetheless.

There you go...

You need:

110g butter at room temperature

130g brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

150g (spelt) flour

30g cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp "Lebkuchengewürz", or just (combined) a tsp of ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom

And about 100-150g dark chocolate and a little piece of butter for the frosting.

Cream butter and sugar together. Add the egg. Stir in the cocoapowder, spices, bakingpowder and flour.

Mix until you have a smooth batter.

Now just grab a teaspoon and spoon the batter on a sheet, lined with baking paper. 

Like this:

Now preheat your oven to 160°C and bake them for about 14 minutes or until they look like this:

While they cool down a bit, you can prepare the frosting. Melt your chocolate and add a tiny bit of butter. Stir until smooth.

Then just spread it on the cookies. I like it to look rustic, and not perfect :).

I topped mine with some purple sprinkles...because it`s christmas time and it should be sparkly!

Store in a beautiful christmas cookie container...

Enjoy! I`m gonna make them again, tomorrow...

Everyone really liked them...I think the frosting makes them even better, because it stays smooth. So when you eat it you have a smooth, chocolaty frosting and a crispy, spiced cookie...mmmmmh.

Have a nice evening, everybody!

Love,

Sara
