For the Crust:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the butter mixture until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then coat each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place dough balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
