Cookies:

1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup softened butter
2 large eggs
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

Coating:

2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper or lightly grease.

To make the cookies: Beat 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.

To make the coating: Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.

Shape dough into 2-teaspoon balls; roll in cinnamon-sugar coating until evenly covered. Arrange balls 5cm apart onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
