How to Make Chocolate Snickerdoodles

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  8. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  10. Immediately remove cookies from baking sheets and let cool on a wire rack.
