Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  6. Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies and better flavor.
  7. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
  8. Roll dough into 1½-inch balls. Roll each ball generously in cinnamon sugar.
  9. Place cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers look soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For extra soft cookies, slightly underbake.

  • For chewier cookies, replace ¼ cup white sugar with brown sugar.

  • For thicker cookies, chill dough longer (up to 2 hours).
