Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for rolling) for rolling cookies
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually combine the wet and dry mixtures while stirring gently until just mixed.
  6. Scoop out dough balls (about 1-2 inches wide), roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden but the centers are slightly underbaked.
  2. Let them cool before transferring to wire racks to finish cooling.

Notes

Serve warm with milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week at room temperature, or freeze the dough for up to three months for fresh-baked cookies anytime.
