1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed Adds moisture and a chewy texture.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for rolling.

Baking

Roll the dough into balls, then coat each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set but centers are still a little soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months. Thinly slice the cookies from frozen before enjoying.
