Ingredients

• 2.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, stir together 0.25 cups of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the rolling mixture.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball.

Step 8

Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked for a soft texture.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
