Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk room temperature preferred
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For rolling:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and cocoa powder and whisk until smooth.
  • Add sugars and stir until combined.
  • Stir in eggs and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. I like to do slowly, in 4-5 parts, as this makes a stiff dough and adding all of the flour at once will make it difficult to absorb and could leave you with a crumbly, unworkable dough.
  • In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa powder for rolling.
  • Scoop dough into 1 ½ Tablespoon sized scoops and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Roll evenly through cinnamon sugar, then transfer to prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” apart. For flatter cookies, gently press down to flatten them before baking.
  • Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 8 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
