Ingredients
Scale
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls, then coat each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture before placing them on the baking sheets about two inches apart.
