Servings: persons

2-1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 Tablespoons Ground Cloves
1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/4 cups Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa
3/4 cups Butter, Softened
1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
1/4 cups Dark Molasses
1/4 teaspoons Grated Fresh Ginger
1 whole Large Egg
2 Tablespoons Milk
Granulated Sugar, For Coating Cookies
1 bag (about 10 Oz. Size) Gingerbread M&Ms

1
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt and cocoa.
2
In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the molasses, grated ginger, egg, and milk.
3
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well. Don't forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
4
Chill the dough for about 1 hour. (Or if you are in a hurry , pop it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.)
5
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.
6
With a cookie scoop, measure out dough and roll into balls. Roll the balls of dough into granulated sugar and place on greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently press M&Ms into the dough balls without flattening them out too much. (I used three M&Ms per cookie.)
7
Bake 10 minutes at 375u00b0F. Remove from the oven and place on cooling racks until completely cooled. You can eat the remaining M&Ms while you wait!
