these were originally supposed to go on top of the Snickerdoodle Cupcakes (recipe HERE), but it just seemed better to keep them separate. but they were still good cookies. :-)
1/2 c. butter flavored shortening
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. cocoa
2 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
sugar, for rolling
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream shortening, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Add vanilla and beat again.
2. In a medium bowl combine cocoa, flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture and stir until completely incorporated. Place extra sugar in a small bowl. Roll mixture into small balls (size is completely up to you, I did about 1/2") and roll in sugar. Place about 2" apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove, let sit for 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack.
