Cream the butter, then add in the 1 ½ cups sugar, baking soda and cream of tartar. For best results, use the paddle attachment on your stand mixer.

Step 2

Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix until creamy.

Step 3

Add the flour a little bit at a time, and continue mixing until combined, and dough has formed.

Step 5

Roll dough into roughly 1 ¼" balls. (Makes 24)

Mix together the ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon, then roll the dough balls in the mixture to coat and place them about 2" apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet or parchment/silpat lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake at 375F for 10 to 13 minutes, until the bottoms are very lightly browned.
