Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar for dough
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for coating
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 375°F; parchment-line two sheets. Beat butter and dough sugar 2 minutes; add egg, yolk, and vanilla.
  2. Whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt; mix into butter just until flour disappears.
  3. Mix coating sugar and cinnamon. Form 24 dough balls; roll in cinnamon sugar.
  4. Space 2 inches apart; bake one sheet at a time 9 to 10 minutes until rims set and centers puffed but soft.
  5. Stand on hot sheets 5 minutes; transfer to racks. Centers settle into wrinkles as they cool.
