Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or non-dairy butter alternative (e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 1/2 cups granulated cane sugar
- 2 eggs (or egg substitute of choice like Ener-G egg replacer)
- 2 1/4 cups gfJules™ All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 tsp. baking powder

- 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
topping ingredients:
- 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions
- Cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add eggs/sub and beat until integrated.
- Whisk together dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then slowly stir into the sugar mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate dough until cold and not sticky – at least 2 hours, if possible.
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Stir together cane sugar, cinnamon and chili powder toppings in a small bowl. Form balls of dough by the tablespoonful by rolling gently between your palms. Roll in the cinnamon-sugar-chili powder mixture until coated all over. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 13 minutes or until the cookies have flattened somewhat and have cracked tops, but are still soft. Remove to cool on wire racks before transferring.
