Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Creaming the butter is best done by a hand or stand mixer. Place the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt into a bowl and whisk until the ingredients are combined.
Place softened butter in another, larger mixing bowl add the sugar and cream (mix) the mixture until the sugar melts into the butter and the mixture is no longer "gritty".
Scrape the mixture down, add eggs and vanilla until combined well. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt, until combined; taking care not to over process the mixture.
Stir remaining cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl.
Use a cookie scoop or spoon, gather up cookie dough, roll the dough into a ball and coat the ball with the cinnamon/ sugar mixture.
Place the cookies on parchment lined baking sheet, allowing cookies room to spread out during baking.
