I love Snickerdoodles and this is a nice twist with the cocoa.

Chocolate Snickerdoodles

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup shortening

1-1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

2-1/4 cups flour

1/2 cup cocoa

2 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 T sugar, plus 2 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream the shortening, butter, and sugar; add eggs and cream again.

Blend dry ingredients together, (except the 2 T sugar and cinnamon) Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Mix well.

Shape dough in balls and roll in sugar mixture. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 10-12 minutes. Let set on sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
