Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 2 3/4 cup Flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:

• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter & sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.  Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer. 
   
3. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda & salt until combined. 
   
4. In a small bowl, stir together sugar & cinnamon. 
   
5. If time allows, wrap the dough & let refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.  Roll into small balls until round & smooth.  Drop ball into cinnamon-sugar mixture & coat well making sure cookie balls are completely covered.  *To make flatter snickerdoodles, press down in the center of the ball before placing in the oven. This helps to keep them from puffing up in the middle.*
   
6. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes.  Let cool for several minutes on baking sheet before removing from the pan.
