I got this recipe out of a magazine about 25 years ago. I have never seen a 1/3 tsp measure, so I use a heaping quarter tsp of those spices.
Italian Toto Cookies
3 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa
¾ tsp baking powder
1/3 tsp allspice
1/3 tsp cloves
½ tsp cinnamon
¾ cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
½ tsp vanilla
½ cup chopped nuts
Glaze
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.
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
¾ tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk
Combine sugar and vanilla. Stir in milk a little at a time until of spreading consistency.
