Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the coating.

Step 7

Scoop out approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly soft. Do not overbake to keep the cookies chewy.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
