Ingredients

• 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons French vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring it is well combined after each addition. Stir in the French vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing the dough.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 0.25 cup of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon to make the coating.

Step 7

Scoop out 1.5 tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly soft.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
