To make the cookies: Beat white sugar, butter, and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter mixture until dough holds together.

Form dough into balls (about 2 teaspoons in each ball), then roll in cinnamon-sugar coating. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.

Recipe Tips

Cookies may look doughy when removed from the oven. Allowing them to continue to cook on the baking sheet out of the oven prevents them from turning hard. Store cooled cookies in a plastic container or plastic bag with 1 to 2 bread slices to keep cookies soft.
