Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 1/4 cups white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, (packed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cup flour, ((all purpose or plain))
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar(s) until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla for a further 2 minutes until well incorporated.
  • Fold in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt until just combined.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
  • Cover dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes (if time allows).
  • Roll cookie dough into balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie). Roll in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and evenly coat.
  • Arrange cookies at least 3-inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon/sugar to ensure cookies are completely covered.
  • For thick cookies: spoon dough onto your baking sheets straight from the spoon (use a cookie dough scoop). Don't roll them into perfect round balls. You'll want higher rather than wider cookie dough balls so that they bake thick.For thin cookies: Make a small indent in the centre of each cookie ball by lightly pressing down before baking to flatten them out a little.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes or until edges are golden.
  • Let cool for about 10-15 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
