'Tis the season for holiday cookie recipes! These spiced cookies have a touch of cocoa, and smell just like home to me. This makes a nice big batch, so it's okay to sneak a few before sharing them with the family :)

How to Make Spiced Cocoa Cookies

Step-by-Step

Cream shortening and sugar.
Add eggs (one at a time). Then add milk and vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and spices. Mix well.
Add your chocolate chips.
Form your dough into small balls, (I used a 2 tablespoon coffee scoop)and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 14 - 16 minutes.
Remove your cookies from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before adding a sprinkling of powdered sugar!
