Instructions
PREP OVEN:
Move oven racks to the middle position, and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
PREP BAKING SHEET:
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, and set aside.
MAKE COOKIE DOUGH:
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl add the butter and 1 ½ cups of sugar.
Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy and pale yellow in color, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs and beat until combined.
Slowly beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions until a cohesive dough forms.
ROLL DOUGH:
In a small bowl combine the remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, scoop the dough and roll into balls.
Then, roll the balls into the cinnamon sugar.
BAKE COOKIES:
Place the dough 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until the edges are just set and beginning to turn light brown, about 10-12 minutes.
The cookies will be soft in the center and still puffy.
TO FINISH:
Cool the cookies on the cookie sheets for 15 minutes, and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining dough and cinnamon sugar.
Serve once the cookies are cooled.
