Stir together flour, cream of tartar and baking powder, gradually stir into creamed mixture until blended. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour or until firm. Using half of the dough at a time. roll out between 2 sheets of waxed paper or on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness slightly thicker for hanging on a tree). Using a floured cookie cutter, cut out 3-inch (8 cm) rounds: transfer to lightly greased baking sheets. Place snow flakes on top of rounds; dust liberally with unsweetened cocoa powder. Carefully remove snowflake; sprinkle top of cookie lightly with half of remaining sugar. If you're going to hang cookies from a tree, make hole at the top of each one with straw. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 1C to 12 minutes or just until lightly browned around edges. Remove from the oven and immediately check to make sure holes have remained open.
