Preparation

Step 1

Place the sugar and cinnamon on a plate and mix until combined. Set aside.
Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle and beat until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well between additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl and mix well. Add to the butter mixture and beat until everything is well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet.
To form the cookies: Break off small pieces of dough and roll into 1" balls. Roll in the cinnamon sugar and place 2" apart on the cookie sheet. Using your hand or the bottom of a water glass, press down until flattened.
Bake until the cookies begin to brown at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet. Transfer to rack.
