Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 1/4 cups flour; 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder; 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper; 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves; 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon salt; ½ tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter, at room temperature; 1/2 to 2/3 cups whole milk; 2/3 cup (3 ounces) chopped walnuts

Servings: persons

3 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
½ tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
1/2 to 2/3 cups whole milk
2/3 cup (3 ounces) chopped walnuts

1
Place the oven rack in the lower third position in the oven. Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Lightly spray 2 cookie sheets with vegetable oil cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl combine, flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, pepper, cloves, cinnamon and salt. Add butter and, using your fingers or a pastry dough blender, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Add 1/2 cup of milk and the nuts and mix until the dough is well blended. If mixture seems too dry, add more milk, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together.
3
Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. If thinner, less chewy cookie is desired, flatten balls slightly.
4
Bake cookies until firm, about 15 to 17 minutes.
5
Place baked cookies on wire racks to cool. Store in a sealed container.
