Ingredients

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
3 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
2 large eggs
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
2. Step 2Beat butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture, beating just until incorporated.
3. Step 3Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Roll dough into 1 3/4-inch balls (about 2 tablespoons each). Roll balls in sugar mixture and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
4. Step 4Bake until lightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
