1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
1–1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1–1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes.
Beat in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.
Shape rounded tablespoons of dough into balls and roll in the remaining sugar.
Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
