Cocoa Snickerdoodles
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup white sanding sugar
- 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Increase the speed to medium high and beat until fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla; reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Combine the sanding sugar and cinnamon in a small shallow bowl.
- Form heaping tablespoonfuls of dough into balls with damp hands; toss in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
- Arrange about 3 inches apart on 2 baking sheets.
- Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are set around the edge, 9 to 11 minutes.
- Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
