This recipe is inspired from a recipe in Food Network magazine for cocoa snickerdoodles.
Do you remember a food blog called the Bitten Word?
Clay and Zach would test recipes from a fresh crop of food magazines each month.
During the holidays, the pair would enlist readers to help recipe test, especially for the giant Christmas cookie issues.
I was assigned the cocoa snickerdoodles and I fell in love I tell you.
These cookies remind me a lot of a really great bread that Starbucks had for a while.
It was chocolate bread with a thick crust of cinnamon sugar.
So, so, so, so, so good!
But I digress. Back to this cookie.
Because I can't leave any recipe alone, I've reduced the amount of cream of tartar in the orginal recipe and increased the cinnamon.
Kind of the way I increased all the spices in my grandmother's gingersnap recipe.
Why You Need Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies in Your Life:
Yes, they are delicious, but these cookies also travel well.
They are sturdy so a good choice for bake sales or shipping care packages to soldiers or college kids.
It's an easy drop cookie recipe.
I made these for the last cookie exchange I went to and everyone wanted the recipe.
Do you ever get invited to a cookie exchange and then struggle to figure out what to bake because your annoying neighbor snagged your favorite recipe the nanosecond she got her invitation?
You don't want to bake anything too intricate.
You've got other things to do in December besides bake for one party.
But you want to bring something that isn't the same old, same old.
Chocolate cinnamon cookies are your solution.
Tools I used for this recipe include:
parchment paper
