DIRECTIONS
ONE Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
TWO Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
THREE Add the Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
FOUR Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
FIVE Make Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. This will be our delicious coating for the cookies.
SIX Form and Coat the Dough Balls
Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
SEVEN Bake to Perfection
Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly crinkled. Remove from oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
