For a richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. To keep the cookies soft, store them in an airtight container. Experiment with adding chocolate chips for an extra touch of indulgence. If you prefer a slightly flatter cookie, gently press down on the dough balls before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, shortening, and eggs until the mixture is light and creamy. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. This ensures a smooth, even distribution of ingredients. (2 minutes)
04
StepGradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can lead to tough cookies. (5 minutes)
05
StepIn a shallow dish, combine the remaining granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon to create a flavorful coating. (1 minute)
06
StepRoll the dough into 1-inch balls. Then, roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Place the coated dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cookie. (10 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly soft. Avoid overbaking to maintain their soft, chewy texture. (8 minutes)
08
StepAllow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. As they cool, the tops will develop the characteristic snickerdoodle cracks. (15 minutes)
