Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 and 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat softened butter until smooth. Add granulated and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and cream of tartar. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Scoop dough into balls about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Roll each ball in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon until fully coated.
  5. Place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain shiny. Cool on the pan for three minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
