Chocolate Cinnamon Snowcaps

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (30g) All Purpose Flour

  • ¼ cup (30g) Whole Rye Flour

  • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 4 tsp Royal Cinnamon

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter

  • 2/3 cup (134g) packed light-brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled

  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) milk

  • Confectioner's sugar, for coating

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. With an electric mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until well combined; mix in cooled chocolate. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture; beat in milk until just combined. Flatten dough into a disk; wrap in plastic. Freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.

  2. While the dough chills, reheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Pour confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl; working in batches, roll balls in sugar two times, letting them sit in sugar between coatings.

  3. Place on prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies have spread and coating is cracked, 12 to 14 minutes; cookies will still be soft to the touch. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
