Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line 2 cookies sheets. Whisk until well blended:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

Beat in a large bowl:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

Add and beat until well combined:

2 large eggs

Stir in the flour mixture. Combine:

1/4 cup sugar

4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Shape the dough into 1 1/4 inch balls, roll in the cinnamon sugar, and arrange about 2 3/4 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until the cookies are light golden brown at the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Let stand briefly, then remove to a rack to cool.

These were okay. They turned out more crisp than I wanted. They also made very large cookies.
