Ingredients
– 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. – In a large bowl, beat the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

10. – Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a chewier texture, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also add a teaspoon of ground nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar coating for extra flavor.
