- 3 Cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Cloves
- 1/2 Cup Whole Milk

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit now. Line your baking sheets with some parchment paper. This preparation saves time during the baking process.
Whisk the flour, sugar, and cocoa together. Add the pepper, cinnamon, and cloves into the bowl. Mix them until the color is very even.
Create a small well in the center. Pour the milk and honey into the center. Stir slowly until a thick dough starts forming.
Scoop a small amount of dough with a spoon. Roll the dough into a small ball. Place it carefully on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for about fifteen minutes total. The tops should look dry and slightly cracked. Remove them from the oven to cool down.
- Use fresh black pepper for the best spicy taste.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep it soft.
- Measure your flour using a spoon and level method.
- Let cookies cool completely before you store them.
- Space the cookies two inches apart on the pan.
