Description
Delightful cookies with a blend of rich cocoa and aromatic cinnamon, perfect for any cookie tray.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream together the sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients gradually to the creamed mixture, blending until just combined.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For an extra touch, roll the cookies in powdered sugar a second time after they’ve cooled.
