Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Set this dry mixture aside.

  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
  8. Scoop tablespoons of dough, roll them into balls, coat in the cinnamon-sugar topping, and place on prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

For best results, chill the dough for at least 2 hours. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
