Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and ground cinnamon.
6. Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
7. Bake: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
