Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 cup butter 2 sticks
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp sugar (topping)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (topping)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking sheet, greased

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  2. For the dough: In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in the dry ingredients.
  4. Form the dough into one-inch balls. Place on a greased baking sheet and flatten.
  5. For the topping: combine the sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle on top of the cookies before baking.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes

  •  I increased the amount of topping that the recipe called for since I prefer to roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar instead of sprinkling it on top. 
  • Instead of using a greased cookie sheet, I used parchment paper to keep the cookies from sticking.
  • You actually want to take them out when they still look and feel underdone, they will stay chewier longer that way.
