1cupbutter
1½cupsgranulated sugar
2eggs

Instructions
Sift together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the dry ingredients and combine just until a soft dough forms. Chill the dough for a couple of hours.
Roll the chilled dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Place the balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn a golden brown color. These cookies may fall after taken out of the oven but that is fine, that's a normal part of what makes them soft and chewy.
Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
The total time noted does not include chilling the dough. Allow 1 or 2 hours for that when planning to bake these cookies.
