1 teaspoon baking soda

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs; add cream of tartar and baking soda. Beat in cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and cayenne powder. Beat in flour. Stir chocolate chips into the dough.

Mix remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl.

Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls. Roll balls in the sugar-cinnamon mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
