Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Coating:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare the Coating:
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Shape and Coat the Cookies:
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk or hot cocoa for a cozy treat!
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, mix in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To make ahead, freeze the dough balls (before coating) and bake straight from the freezer, adding an extra minute to the bake time.
