Spiced Chocolate Crackle Cookies

By srumbel

love what the cinnamon does to the classic crackle cookie. It adds such warmth and depth of flavor and it really makes you pause for a second and enjoy that subtle heat. These cookies are best enjoyed with a glass of ice cold milk and don’t try to eat just one – they’re way too good for that!
