Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar + 4 tsp ground cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.

Notes

Consider using a cookie scoop for uniform sizes and chilling the dough for 30 minutes for better texture.
