Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cloves, cinnamon, and salt. Work shortening in a bowl until creamy. Add the 1 cup of sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, mixing well after each addition. Drop by slightly rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 15 minutes until firm to the touch. Remove cookies to a rack and sprinkle tops with granulated sugar while they are still hot. Or, if preferred, cool completely and frost with icing and sprinkle with chopped nuts. Make 4 ½ dozen cookies.
