Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix one tablespoon of ground cinnamon and 4 tablespoons of sugar together and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla and continue mixing on low speed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, mixing as you go.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portionn out a heaping spoonful of dough. Roll dough into a ball and place into the bowl of cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Gently roll the dough balls in a small bowl of cinnamon sugar, then place onto the prepared baking sheet. If you have time, chill the dough for 30 minutes - 1 hour before baking.
Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool on wire rack.

Prep Tips:

Cream of Tartar Substitution - If you don't have cream of tartar, omit the baking soda from recipe and instead use 2 teaspoons of baking powder in place of the cream of tartar AND baking soda.
Gluten Free Variation - To make these cookies gluten free, use all-purpose gluten free flour instead of regular flour.
