Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture until a dough forms.
-
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Place the dough onto a sheet of wax paper and shape it into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Roll the dough in the wax paper, twisting the ends to secure it, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Remove the chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
-
Place the cookie rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for slight spreading during baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just set and the bottoms are lightly golden.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
