Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cup (358g) All-purpose flour (measured accurately to give the most perfect texture)
- 2 1 tsp cream of tartar (adds its distinctive taste and chew)
- 1 TSP baking soda
- 1/2 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 Cup (168g) unsalted butter (room temperature to allow proper creaming)
- 1 1/2 cup (310g) sugar (plus 3 tbsp of sugar for rolling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 2 tbsp crushed cinnamon (for rolling)
Substitutions:
- Gluten-free? Make use of a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix.
- Vegan? Use vegan butter instead of margarine, and eggs using flax eggs.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare Your Baking Sheet
- Pre-heat your oven until 400°F (200degC).
- Cover your baking sheet with either parchment paper, or even a baking mat to make cleanup easy.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- A medium-sized bowl mix in with flour, cream of tartar, baking soda as well as salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar
- in a mixing bowl large enough make a cream with butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until fluffy and light (about 3-4 minutes). Incorporate eggs one at a moment, and mix until well-combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
- Add the dry mix with the wet components, blending until the mixture is well-combined. Do not overmix to create the texture of cookies is soft.
Step 5: Roll the Dough in Cinnamon Sugar
- A small mixing bowl mix 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Form the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in the mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
- Cookies should be placed on the baking sheet and space two inches between them.
- Bake at least about 6-8 mins for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges have set, but the centers appear slightly under-baked.
- Let it cool for about 2 minutes before moving to an untie rack.
Notes
- Select the right Baking Sheet Baking sheets with dark colors will set the edges quicker which reduces the spread of cookies.
- Specific Measurements Utilize a kitchen scale to measure flour precisely.
- Cream Butter in the proper way: Making the cream until it is light and fluffy, it adds air to create softness.
- Don’t overbake: Remove cookies from the oven and bake them slightly underbaked for a soft center.
