Ingredients

2 3/4 cup (358g) All-purpose flour (measured accurately to give the most perfect texture)
2 1 tsp cream of tartar (adds its distinctive taste and chew)
1 TSP baking soda
1/2 1 tsp salt
3/4 Cup (168g) unsalted butter (room temperature to allow proper creaming)
1 1/2 cup (310g) sugar (plus 3 tbsp of sugar for rolling)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 2 tbsp crushed cinnamon (for rolling)

Substitutions:

Gluten-free? Make use of a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix.
Vegan? Use vegan butter instead of margarine, and eggs using flax eggs.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Your Baking Sheet

Pre-heat your oven until 400°F (200degC).
Cover your baking sheet with either parchment paper, or even a baking mat to make cleanup easy.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

A medium-sized bowl mix in with flour, cream of tartar, baking soda as well as salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

in a mixing bowl large enough make a cream with butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until fluffy and light (about 3-4 minutes). Incorporate eggs one at a moment, and mix until well-combined. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

Add the dry mix with the wet components, blending until the mixture is well-combined. Do not overmix to create the texture of cookies is soft.

Step 5: Roll the Dough in Cinnamon Sugar

A small mixing bowl mix 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Form the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in the mixture of sugar and cinnamon.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Cookies should be placed on the baking sheet and space two inches between them.
Bake at least about 6-8 mins for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges have set, but the centers appear slightly under-baked.
Let it cool for about 2 minutes before moving to an untie rack.

Notes

Select the right Baking Sheet Baking sheets with dark colors will set the edges quicker which reduces the spread of cookies.
Specific Measurements Utilize a kitchen scale to measure flour precisely.
Cream Butter in the proper way: Making the cream until it is light and fluffy, it adds air to create softness.
Don’t overbake: Remove cookies from the oven and bake them slightly underbaked for a soft center.
