Ingredients

For the cookies:

1/2 pound (2 sticks) margarine, or 1/4 pound (1 stick) margarine and 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the cinnamon sugar:

2 tablespoons sugar
2 to 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

To make the cookies: Place the margarine and sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl before each addition. Add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt and mix until everything is well incorporated. Cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or freeze up to 2 weeks.

To make the cinnamon sugar: Place the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix to combine.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

To form the cookies, break off small pieces and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Transfer to the oven and bake until just barely golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. For crisper cookies, cool on the cookie sheet. For softer cookies, cool for 2 minutes and then remove to a rack. Cool the cookie sheet between batches.

Exactly on Point
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were just the taste and texture I was going for. By the time I had put the second dozen in the oven, half of the first... batch was already gone. Two big thumbs up!Read more

Alternative to an expensive mixer?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I haven't made this recipe, so I don't know if this recipe is excellent yet! The problem is that the recipe calls for using... a mixer, but when you don't have one of those expensive devices, what's a good alternative? Does anyone who has experience making cookies, and other pastries, have a recommendation for this? Is mixing the dough with a spoon using arm power a good alternative, and are there easy techniques for that? Read more

Cream of Tartar
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Cream of tartar is used in this recipe because it is called for in the recipe for Snickerdoodles.

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I bake these cookies every Christmas. My kids prefer these over chocolate chip cookies. I use a small 1" scoop to ensure a... consistent size and bake them for 9 minutes, so that they come out soft and chewy.Read more
