Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar light brown sugar works great
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Flavoring
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • Pinch Salt

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Cream together the butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla using the paddle attachment of a KitchenAid or a rubber spatula. Make sure to mix together for a minute or two until light and creamy.
  • Then, add the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and cream of tartar.
  • Mix that all together very well.
  • Scoop the batter using a cookie scooper to make them all uniform in size onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. I recommend a 1 1/2 tbsp cookie scooper for a decent sized cookie. Cookie scoopers will make all the cookies uniform in shape and size!
  • Mix together the cinnamon and sugar for the topping and dip each cookie ball into it on all sides. Place back on the parchment paper keeping them a few inches apart since the cookie will spread in the oven.
  • Place the pan with the cookies in the fridge for ten minutes before baking them. This will help the cookie retain its shape.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Take out and allow to cool. Enjoy warm or room temperature!
