Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or hand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Cookie scoop (optional)
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon for rolling

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Mix the Dough:
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
  • Form the Cookies:
  • Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  • Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
  • Bake the Cookies:
  • Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked. The centers will still look soft, but they will continue to set as they cool.
  • Cool the Cookies:
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
