Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, blending just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the additional granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
