Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers still look soft.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, do not overbake—these cookies continue cooking slightly after removal from the oven.
