Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together.
Roll the cookie dough into tablespoon-sized balls and flatten slightly on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over each cookie, pressing it slightly into the dough.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

Variation ideas: Add nuts (walnuts or pecans), use a cream cheese glaze, or spice up the cookies with ground ginger or nutmeg.

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and a non-dairy milk substitute for the glaze.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer storage. To reheat, microwave or warm in the oven at low temperature.

Freeze the cookie dough in balls for later use.
