To make these soft and chewy cookies, gather the following ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter (softened), 1 cup granulated sugar, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar. For the topping, you will need 8 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Start by preheating your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until a dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes for best results. While the dough is chilling, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping in a separate bowl. Once the dough is ready, roll it into small balls and coat each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid overbaking. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before enjoying these festive delights with your friends and family!
