  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp of sugar with 2 tsp of ground cinnamon.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  7. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
