Chocolate Spice Cookies
I love spices, especially cinnamon and nutmeg. This recipe combines my favorite things: chocolate and spice. These cookies are really tasty.
You can make a bunch of the dough (I do this with Chocolate Chip Cookies all the time) and freeze it. I usually double or even triple the batch and use up my small plastic storage containers by freezing small portions of the dough. That way you can take them out one at a time for a little snack. I figure if I'm going to take out my trusty KitchenAid mixer, I might as well make it worth the time and prepare enough for later.
