Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Gently fold in the toasted pecans.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar for coating.
Step 8
Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Then, roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until completely coated.
Step 9
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Step 11
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.

Enjoy your chewy and nutty pecan snickerdoodles!
