Ingredients
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the ground cinnamon for the coating.
Scoop small, bite-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until set but still soft.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure the butter is soft but not melted to maintain the perfect texture. Use fresh cream of tartar for the best tang. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
