Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the coating.
Scoop out 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
