Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Cream together the granulated sugar and the butter until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix until completely combined.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt; mix into the wet ingredients until combined.
Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, scoop and shape the dough into 1 to 2 inch balls; roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Be careful not to overbake. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely... if you can wait that long.
