Ingredients

Scale

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
In another 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 combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place on prepared sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.

Notes

Chill the dough for thicker cookies that don’t spread too much during baking.
For added flavor variations, consider incorporating nuts or chocolate chips into the dough.
