Ingredients

• 226 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 110 grams Light brown sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 320 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for rolling)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar (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 large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing 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, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated and a soft dough forms.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar for rolling.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out cookie dough balls (about 1.5 tablespoons per ball). Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until completely coated.

Step 8

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake for a chewy texture.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
