CHOCOLATE ICEBOX COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer at low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy.
• Reduce mixer speed to low and add the egg and vanilla. Beat for about 20 to 30 seconds, just until combined.
• Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, and stir gently until combined.
• Divide the dough in two and roll each into a 2-inch-wide cylinder. Wrap the cylinders in wax paper, twisting the ends to seal them. Chill the dough until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Place baking racks at the top and bottom thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Slice the dough into 1/4-inch rounds. Place the cookies on the sheet pans 1 inch apart.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Switch the sheet pans so that the top pan is now at the bottom, and vice versa. Bake for another 5 to 6 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pans for 1 minute. Transfer them into a wire rack and let them cool completely.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
