Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This ensures your cookies won't stick and will bake evenly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon for rolling. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
