Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Do not over-mix.
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough (or use a medium cookie scoop) and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until thoroughly coated.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake for soft cookies.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
