Recipe: Chocolate Snickerdoodles
Description: This is a chocolate version of my other snickerdoodle recipe. Wanted to get it down before I forgot what I did but I may update tweeks :)
Ingredients: [{"text": "113 gram(s) butter (1/2 cup)"}, {"text": "1 cup(s) sugar"}, {"text": "1 - large egg"}, {"text": "1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla essence"}, {"text": "1/3 cup(s) chocolate chips or drops"}, {"text": "1 1/2 cup(s) flour"}, {"text": "1 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder"}, {"text": "1/4 teaspoon(s) salt"}, {"text": "1/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda"}, {"text": "1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar"}, {"text": "COATING"}, {"text": "2 tablespoon(s) sugar"}, {"text": "2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon"}, {"text": "1 teaspoon(s) cocoa powder"}]
Instructions: Put 5g (or a teaspoon) of the butter in a small microwavable bowl or cup with the chocolate.
Beat remaining butter until it is creamy (soften in the microwave for 20 seconds if its hard). Add sugar slowly & cream together (about 3 minutes).
Microwave the chocolate until soft or melted (about a minute) then beat into the butter sugar mix, followed by the egg & vanilla essence.
Sift in flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda & cream of tartar & beat to combine.
In a small bowl or cup, combine the extra sugar & cinnamon.
Use a 1 Tablespoon measure to scoop out dough & roll into balls then roll them in the sugar/cinnamon mix to thoroughly coat.
Place balls on a lined baking sheet, 2" apart to allow for spreading. 
Do not flatten.
Bake at 180C for 8-10 minutes. 
Leave to cool on the tray & they will firm up.
