Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix softened butter and 0.75 cup sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in egg, then fold in flour, cream of tartar, and 1 tsp cinnamon until just combined.

  3. Step 3

    Mix remaining 0.5 tsp cinnamon with 2 tbsp sugar in a small bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Roll dough into 1-inch balls, coat in cinnamon-sugar, and place 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  5. Step 5

    Bake at 375°F for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone.

  6. Step 6

    Cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
