  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients into the wet mixture to form a slightly sticky dough.
