Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar see notes for substitution
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter and sugars until fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients just until combined. Chill dough if soft. Preheat oven, shape dough into balls, coat with cinnamon sugar, and bake for 10-11 minutes.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps cookies spread less and become thicker.
