Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
For the Cinnamon Sugar:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until well blended and mix in the eggs.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.
- Gradually add dry mixture to the creamed mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
- Form into 1.5-tablespoon balls (I used my medium cookie scoop) and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly golden but still soft.
