Basic Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
- Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter and granulated sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 different parts. The dough will be thick.
- Roll cookie dough into balls, about 1.5 Tablespoons (35g) of cookie dough each. Roll the dough balls in cinnamon-sugar topping. Arrange 3 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake cookies for 10 minutes. The cookies will be very puffy and soft. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cookies remain soft & fresh for 7 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Make cookie dough ahead and chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze cookie dough balls for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
