Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Leave a paper overhang, so you can easily lift the baked cookie from the pan once baked.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set these dry ingredients aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add the room temperature butter and granulated sugar. Beat them together with an electric mixer for about 2-3 minutes until lighter in color and creamy. If you have no electric mixer, beat them together with a wooden spoon until creamy.
Step 4
Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
Step 5
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat together on low speed to combine it all into a thick but slightly sticky cookie dough.
Step 6
Scoop the cookie dough into the prepared pan. Use an offset spatula to press the cookie dough out evenly.
Step 7
Mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle this in an even layer on top of the dough
Step 8
Bake for approximately 18-20 minutes, until the edges are baked and the middle is just set. Don't over-bake them.
Step 9
Let the pan cool for 10 minutes before removing the cookie. Let it cool further on a wire rack.
Step 10
Once cooled, cut into 16 pieces.
