Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400Ëš F.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.

  4. Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until well combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low.

  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined.

  6. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

  7. Pat the dough together into a ball and roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon sugar over the dough.

  8. Place the dough in the center of an unlined baking sheet and press it into an 8-inch round, about 1/2 inch thick.

  9. Bake the cookie in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is cracked in the center and light golden brown around the edges.

  10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the cookie to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely on the pan.

  11. Once cooled, cut the cookie into wedges.
