Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cup flour all purpose
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For rolling cookies:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer), add the sugar and butter and beat until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to incorporate.
  • Stir the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated (be careful not to over-mix).
  • Using a cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), scoop out a portion of dough and roll into a ball.
  • Mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl. Dip the dough balls in it and roll them to cover with sugar.
  • Place onto the parchment paper leaving about a 2 inch space between cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to turn a nice golden brown around the edges and the tops begin to crack. [Note: the cookies will look puffy at first but will begin to flatten and get more crinkly as they cool.]
  • Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
