Ingredients:

– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
11. Package the cookies in a decorative tin or gift box and spread the joy of the season with your homemade C Christmas gifts!
