These cookies combine the robust flavor of allspice with raisons and almonds. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, cut into several pieces
2/3 cup dry unsweetened cocoa
2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves or allspice
1 cup finely chopped almonds
1 cup raisins or currants
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan. Heat slowly,stirring, until the mixture resembles smooth syrup. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and spices. Make a well in the center and pour in the chocolate syrup. Work together, first with a spoon, then with clean hands, to make a stiff batter. Add the almonds and raisins or currants and work in.
Form into balls no larger than 1 inch and arrange on cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cookie tests clean.
