How To Make mexican hot chocolate cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar and baking soda. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat to combine. Gradually add flour mixture and mix well.
