Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 ½ cups sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to form the cookie dough.
  6. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon for rolling the dough balls.
  7. Form and Roll Dough Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Then roll each ball thoroughly in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let residual heat finish the cooking.
  • Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
  • Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Optionally chill dough for 30 minutes for easier handling and thicker cookies.
