Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (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 large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until fluffy and light, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.

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. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies soft.

Step 6

In a small bowl, prepare the coating by combining 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Roll the cookie dough into 1.5-inch balls (about the size of a tablespoon) and then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar coating until evenly covered.

Step 8

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake — they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
