Preheat oven to 375F degrees. For easy cleanup use parchment or a silpat liner on baking sheet. Or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the cake mix, cocoa, eggs, sour cream and water in a mixing bowl using a wooden spoon. The dough will be stiff and sticky to the touch.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Have a small bowl of water available to wet fingers.
Gently roll tablespoons of dough into balls with damp fingers. Toss the balls in the cinnamon and sugar mixture to coat.
Place balls on the cookie sheet. Gently flatten the cookie balls with the bottom of a glass or jar.
Bake the cookies for 6-8 minutes.
Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.
