Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for coating
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, for coating

Instructions

  • Cream butter and sugars. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add egg and vanilla. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Chill the dough. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix cinnamon sugar coating. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon.
  • Roll dough into balls. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Coat in cinnamon sugar. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating it evenly. Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
  • Cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
