Ingredients
  • ½ cup salted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
For the cinnamon sugar
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix together ¼ cup of sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and beat until creamy. Mix in vanilla.
  5. Add the cream of tartar and baking soda. Mix until combined.
  6. Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined.
  7. If you are not making it immediately, cling-wrap the dough and keep it in the fridge.
  8. If you are baking the cookies immediately, use your hands to roll the dough into little balls.
  9. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon sugar and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet,, leaving at least 2 inches between the balls.
  10. Press the dough lightly with the back of a measuring cup.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed. They will look underdone, but taking them out at this point helps them stay soft and chewy in the middle.
  12. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
