Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter and 1½ cups sugar on high speed until very light and fluffy, 4 minutes — this creates a tender, cakey cookie. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth.

  2. 2

    Mix in flour mixture on low speed until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky. Mix cinnamon and 3 tablespoons sugar in a shallow bowl.

  3. 3

    Scoop dough into 1.5-tablespoon balls. Roll each ball completely in the cinnamon sugar until evenly coated. Place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 375°F for 9–11 minutes until the edges are just set but the centers look puffy and underdone — they will flatten and crisp slightly as they cool. Cool on the pan 5 minutes for the perfect crinkled, chewy-soft texture.
