Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup 2 sticks 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
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the Oven and Prepare Pans:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Make the Dough:
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until smooth and light, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
In another 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.
Mix Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
-
In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon.
Shape the Cookies:
-
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball.
-
Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
-
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 edges start to turn golden and the centers are set but still soft.
-
The cookies will puff up initially and then flatten out as they bake.
Cool:
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
