Ingredients

• 1 cup 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
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the ground cinnamon.
6. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
7. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set but not hard. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
