prep time: about 45 minutes (includes time in the refrigerator)
cook time: 12-14 minutes
yield: about 1 1/2 dozen cookies
yield: about 1 1/2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
In an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugars on high speed, once creamy add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a separate bowl. Once mixed, Incorperate the dry ingredients with the moist and mix well.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees while you let the dough rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Make sure to scrape off the sides of your bowl before you let it cool. The dough gets quite hard, and is difficult to scrape off once chilled.
While you cool the dough mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl, and set aside.
Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll about 2 1/2 tablespoons of dough into a ball. Coat the dough balls in the cinnamon and sugar mix, and lightly press onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat for remaining cookies.
Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes and no more. The cookies will seem undercooked, but continue to develop once removed from the oven. Once cooled, the cookies should be soft in the center.
