"This is an old recipe, and my husbands favorite cookie. It is a good one for the kids to help with."
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. cinnamon
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Sift together flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Chill dough. Roll into balls the size of walnuts. Roll the balls in the mixture of 2 Tbsp. sugar and 2 Tbsp. cinnamon. Do not flatten, but bake two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake @ 400 for 10 min. or until cookies are brown, but still soft.
