2 eggs
-
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar

Step 1: Cream the Butter and Sugars
Preheat your oven to 325° Fahrenheit.
In a standing mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter with both sugars on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Tip
Combine the tablespoon of cinnamon with two tablespoons of sugar in a separate bowl.
Step 2: Add Remaining Ingredients
Add eggs one at a time, plus vanilla and mix thoroughly. Scrape down the bowl, then add baking soda, salt, Cream of Tartar and cinnamon. Mix to combine. Turn mixer on low and add flour last, stirring until only JUST combined.
Step 3: Roll Into Balls
Use your palms to roll balls about two inches in diameter. Then coat each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
