Print Recipe

Deliciously soft and chewy cookies coated in cinnamon and sugar, perfect for cozy evenings and festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla, beating well after each addition.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for rolling.
  7. Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll them into balls, and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  8. Place the coated cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and centers appear slightly underbaked.
  10. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. They can be kept fresh for up to a week.
