 Italian Toto Cookies

This recipe is by Jacqui from Every Day Cook.

A spiced chocolate ball with a glossy icing. When I returned to Paris I found a recipe and changed it a little and made my own. I had trouble getting the cookies to stay in the ball shape but they tasted just as good as the ones at Bar Elite

Method

Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, allspice, cloves and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar. In another bowl beat eggs. Stir eggs into creamed mixture with vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, then nuts. Form into 1 inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. Prepare glaze. Frost cookies while still warm.


Combine sugar and vanilla. Stir in milk a little at a time until of spreading consistency. Put cookie into glaze and turn around until completely covered. Let rest somewhere cool until icing is hard.
