Ingredients
  

  • - 1 cup 2 sticks Unsalted butter, softened
  • - 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
  • - 2 large Eggs
  • - 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • - 2 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • - 1 1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
  • - 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • - 1/4 tsp Salt
  • - 1/4 cup Granulated sugar for coating
  • - 1 1/2 tbsp Ground cinnamon for coating

Equipment

  • - Mixing bowls
  • - Electric mixer or hand whisk
  • - Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire rack
  • - Spoon or cookie scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then coat each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent excessive spreading. - For a crispier texture, bake for 1-2 minutes longer. - Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. - Add a teaspoon of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar coating for a spiced twist.
