Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter
2 cups sugar + 1/4 cup for rolling cookie balls into
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
- Beat the butter, 2 cups sugar, vanilla and eggs until light and fluffy {I use a KitchenAid mixer for this}
- Slowly add dry ingredients, and mix well. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for one hour until the cookie dough is somewhat firm.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or with a silpat baking mat. Use a 1 tablespoon cookie dough scoop to form dough balls and then roll the balls in sugar. Bake 10 -12 minutes .
- Cool on a wire rack. Hide a few for yourself and then serve a big plate full to your kids with a tall glass of milk to wash them down.
