Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter (, 2 sticks at room temperature)
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (85 grams) light brown sugar (, packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (390 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and the brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat just until smooth, being careful not to overmix, and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cream of tartar. Stir just until smooth. For a thicker cookie you can cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into 1 1/2 inch size balls and then roll into the cinnamon sugar. Place onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown. The centers will look slightly undercooked and that’s okay. Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
