Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons additional granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 1 teaspoon additional ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy.

Step 3

Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, then mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in the chopped nuts for a nutty crunch.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Then roll the ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Step 8

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread slightly during baking.

Step 9

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden but the centers remain soft. Do not overbake.

Step 10

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