¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions
list of 7 items
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper or silicone mats; set aside.
2. Sift (or whisk) flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar into a medium mixing bowl; set aside.
3. Cream together butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-6 minutes). Beat in the eggs, one at a time,
until incorporated (about 30 seconds), scraping down the bowl and beaters as necessary. Add vanilla extract and mix to combine.
4. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture until combined (about 30 seconds). Give the dough one more stir by hand to make sure
that all of the ingredients are completely mixed together.
5. Combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
6. Use damp hands, roll about 2 tablespoons of dough at a time into balls, then roll in the cinnamon sugar topping to coat. Arrange the dough on the prepared
baking sheets, spaced about 3 inches apart.
7. Bake the cookies for about 10-11 minutes, or until just lightly brown around the edges but still soft and puffy in the center. Let the cookies cool
on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes
You don’t typically need to chill this dough before baking. If your kitchen is particularly warm; however, or if your dough is sitting out for a long time,
I recommend chilling the dough in the refrigerator for 10-30 minutes before scooping and baking. That will ensure the thickest, chewiest cookies possible!
