Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chocolate Snickerdoodles
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add a large egg and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls, coating each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
