Ingredients

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Mix together 1 1/2 cups white sugar, shortening, and eggs with an electric mixer in a bowl until creamy.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven until soft and golden on top, 6 to 8 minutes, making sure they do not burn. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack. The tops will crack as they cool.
