Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF/160ºC and line two large baking trays with non stick baking paper.
- Whisk (or sieve) together flour, cocoa, baking powder, spices and salt.
- With a whisk attachment on the an electric mixer beat together eggs until frothy then slowly add sugar. Beat until pale and thick.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil followed by milk and vanilla.
- Using a wooden spoon, add the flour mixture in two lots, stirring until smooth. Stir through the walnuts and mini choc chips. The dough will be soft and sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Take rounded teaspoonsful of the dough and roll between your palms into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared trays allowing room for spreading and rising.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Don't over bake - these are meant to be soft and moist. The cookies will rise and form a few cracks. Cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool.
- Spread a small amount of icing on each cookie and decorate with coloured sprinkles. Allow icing to set before serving or storing.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. FOR THE COOKIES: In large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. Set aside.
- 3. In another bowl, cream sugar and shortening with a mixer until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Mix in chocolate syrup and vanilla.
- 4. Add chocolate mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until well incorporated. Mix in nuts.
- 5. Dough should form a ball, but not be sticky (if dough is too sticky, put a little flour on your hand to roll into a ball).
- 6. Roll mixture into 1 inch balls. Place balls 1 inch apart on parchment paper and bake about 12-15 minutes or until cookie is firm, but NOT DRY. Let cookies cool before frosting.
- 7. FOR THE FROSTING: Mix sugar, milk and extract to make a sugar glaze in a bowl. Dip the top of the cookies in the bowl and sit the cookies on a baking rack with wax paper underneath to catch any drippings. If you don't have one, then I'd just use wax paper. Immediately top the cookies with sprinkles before glaze dries.
- 8. Allow icing to harden overnight.
