Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.
  5. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
  6. Let the cookie bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

Don't Overbake: For the softest, chewiest texture, pull the cookie bites from the oven when the centers still look slightly underdone.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
