Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.

Step 2

To make the cookies: Beat white sugar, butter, and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough holds together.

Step 3

To make the coating: Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 4

Shape dough into 2-teaspoon balls; roll in cinnamon-sugar coating until evenly covered. Arrange balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven on the center rack for 7 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
