Ingredients

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a pan with a light-colored bottom over medium-low heat. Continue heating, stirring often, until the butter browns on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat (transfer to a heat-proof bowl if desired) and place in the fridge to cool for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  • Put the cooled brown butter (be sure to scrape the bowl to get all of the brown bits), brown sugar, and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat 1-2 minutes, until light in color and fluffy in texture.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add to the mixing bowl and stir until combined.
  • Make the cinnamon sugar coating by mixing the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Use a two tablespoon size dough scoop to scoop the dough into balls. Coat the cookie dough balls in cinnamon sugar and place on parchment covered baking sheets
  • Bake at 350˚F for 8-11 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool slightly and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
