Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup cinnamon sugar, for coating

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. In a small bowl, prepare cinnamon sugar for rolling.
  7. Roll chilled dough into balls and coat each in cinnamon sugar.
  8. Place on baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart, and bake for 10–12 minutes.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra churro flavor, roll finished cookies in more cinnamon sugar while warm. Chill dough longer for thicker cookies.
