Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) butter room temp
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temp
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup (156 g) + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) cinnamon

Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix again.
  • Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, soda, cinnamon and salt. Then slowly mix it into the wet ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop for these. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Place 5 cookie dough balls on your lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to over bake, or you will lose the chewy factor we are going for.

Notes

I love using dutch process cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor, but unsweetened or black cocoa will work great too.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
