Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- For coating:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
- Wrap the cookie dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to ensure chewy, well-shaped cookies.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar coating. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the chilled dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy these chewy, cinnamon-sugar coated delights.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps maintain shape and enhances chewiness.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them soft and chewy.
- Reheat in microwave for a few seconds to revive freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze wrapped cookies for up to 3 months.
