Ingredients:

  • 2¾ cups (340g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons (38g) granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, combining until just incorporated.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper if desired.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the chilled dough and roll into balls.
  9. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  10. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  11. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are slightly soft.
  12. Remove from the oven and allow cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
