Ingredients

COOKIE INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

CINNAMON SUGAR INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl to make cinnamon sugar mixture for rolling. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and stir until completely combined.
  • Add in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well.
  • Add the flour, cream of tartar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix until fully combined.
  • Using 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the dough into balls. It should make 6 even-size balls.
  • Roll each ball of dough between your palm to smooth then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Place 3 cookies on each cookie sheet, evenly spaced so they room to spread.
  • Bake, one sheet at a time, for 16-19 minutes. 16 minutes will result in chewy cookies and 19 will result in a little crisper cookie.
  • Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
