Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 320 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, for cookie dough
- 50 grams granulated sugar, for coating
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, for coating
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 8
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart to allow room for spreading.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to maintain a soft texture.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage. Enjoy!
