Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Coating:
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture, blending until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Continue to mix until the dough comes together.
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping until evenly combined.
- Shape the dough into small balls, using approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them generously.
- Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the center rack for around 8-9 minutes or until the cookies are just set but remain soft in the center.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
