Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix 3 tbsp sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside for coating.
Step 2
Cream butter and remaining sugar in a large bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes with a hand mixer.
Step 3
Beat in egg until combined. Add flour, cream of tartar, and remaining 1.5 tsp cinnamon; stir until just combined.
Step 4
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture; space 2 inches apart on a sheet pan.
Step 5
Bake until edges are set but centers still look slightly underbaked, 9–11 minutes.
Step 6
Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. They'll continue to soften as they cool.
