Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 & 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • parchment paper
  • < For Rolling the cookie dough in, you will need an additional 1/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon >

Method
 

  1. mix together: butter, the 1/2 cup of sugar, and brown sugar. Mix for about 3 minutes.
  2. Add egg, vanilla and beat till fluffy (about 5 minutes)
  3. Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix for about a minute on a low speed.
  4. Form about 14-15 cookie balls on a plate and plastic wrap it. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour before baking…or up to 5 days…. well wrapped.
  5. When you’re ready to bake the cookies, pre-heat oven to 350° and prepare the 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon by mixing them together in a small bowl. (I lined the cookie sheet with parchment paper) Roll the cookie balls in the cinnamon sugar and put the balls on a cookie sheet. You don’t need to flatten the cookie balls down. They spread out nicely. Leave about a 2 inch space between each cookie. Bake in pre-heated oven for 9-10 minutes.
  6. When you take the cookies out, leave them on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes.
