Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and perfectly golden cookies.
  2. In a spacious bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and ground cinnamon until everything is well combined and free from lumps.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in appearance.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, adding the vanilla extract as you mix until everything is smoothly combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until everything is combined without over-mixing.
  6. Portion out 1-2 inch balls of cookie dough, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly before placing them on a lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, ensuring the edges are lightly golden while centers remain slightly underbaked for that chewy texture.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
