Equipment

Stand mixer
Large mixing bowl
Baking Sheet
parchment paper optional
Shallow bowl or Plate

Ingredients

1 cup butter 2 sticks, softened to room temperature
1 ½ cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 ¾ cup flour plain
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

¼ cup sugar
1 ½ Tablespoons cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a stand mixer, blend butter and sugar until creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
Then add eggs and vanilla and mix another 1-2 minutes.
Mix add flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar until just combined. don't over mix at this point.
Optional: allow dough to cool in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before rolling it into balls.
In a shallow bowl, combine ¼ cup of sugar and 1 ½ tablespoons of cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
Roll dough into smooth, round balls, about 2-inches in diameter.
Roll the balls into the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
Place the dough balls on parchment lined baking sheets and press down in the middle for a flatter cookie.
Bake at 350º for 8-10 minutes, until edges start to brown. I really like to take them out at the 8-minute mark.
Let the cookies cool before placing them in an air tight container.

Notes

Mixing the butter and sugar together for 4-5 minutes allows the dough to get fluffy with lots of air for a softer, chewier cookie.
