• Place a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl and sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Beat on low speed just until combined.
• In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon until combined.
• Roll dough into approx. 1-inch balls (I use a cookie scoop). Add the balls to the bowl with the cinnamon and sugar and roll until well-covered. Set about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake until set and lightly browned, about 9 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cookies keep well at room temperature in an airtight container (3-4 days). They also freeze well.

• Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa power, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold this mixture into the egg mixture until well blended.
• Mix together 1/4 cup white sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or on a plate.
• Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls; cover each in sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
