Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Prepare Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
Shape the Cookies: Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly. Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and the tops are cracked. They may look slightly underbaked, but they'll firm up as they cool.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
