Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a dough forms.
6. In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of sugar with the ground cinnamon for the coating.
7. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
8. Place the coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
