Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Shape and Bake
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
  2. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  3. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
