Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, and kosher salt until well combined.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, butter, vanilla, and egg, and whisk until well mixed.
Pour the flour mixture into the large bowl with the wet ingredients and stir with a spoon until the dough is just combined.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon together.
Use a 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop or tablespoon to portion and roll the dough into 30 balls (approximately 1-inch in size).
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat, and then place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Use the end of a wooden spoon or your index finger to press a deep divot in the center of each dough ball.
Refrigerate the dough balls on the baking sheets for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake the cookies for approximately 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until they are light golden brown on the bottom.
Allow the cookies to cool for 1 minute on the baking sheets, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
