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
• 1/4 cup sugar, mixed with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 cup diced seasonal fruit (such as apples, pears, or berries)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
6. Fold in the diced seasonal fruit gently.
7. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
8. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
