Notes: For a stronger cinnamon spice taste, add an additional 6-12 red hot candies. To crush them, place the candies inside of a zip-topped bag. Press to seal, and seal that bag inside a second zip-topped bag. Gently pound on the candies with a hammer, meat mallet, or heavy pan until they’re lightly crushed.
It’s extremely important to measure both the flour and cocoa powder correctly with the
spoon-and-level method. Too much of either will dry out the cookies, and they won’t be soft and chewy. Too much cocoa powder will also make them taste bitter, instead of rich and chocolaty.
