Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to create the coating mixture.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form dough balls about 1.5 tablespoons each. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets to allow sufficient spreading during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly underbaked. This ensures a soft and chewy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
