Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs

  • 2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a bowl with a hand mixer (or standing mixer), cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  • Slowly add dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Once combined, chill the dough at least 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400.
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl.
  • Roll the dough into 1 tablespoon sized balls. Then, roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until the whole ball is coated.
  • Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake about 7-9 minutes, or until lightly browned but still soft.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

The key is to let them puff up and crinkle in the oven and then taking them out before they flatten. They will flatten as they cool, giving them that perfectly chewy texture.
