Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F and place parchment paper or baking mats on cookie baking sheets; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum if needed, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
With a stand mixer and paddle attachment or large bowl and handheld mixer, cream the butter and 1½ c sugar until combined and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
Then add in the eggs one at time. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
Add in the vanilla extract and dry ingredients until just blended.
In a small bowl, combine the ¼ c sugar and ground cinnamon.
Using your hand or a small cookie scoop, gather about 1 tablespoon of dough and drop it into the bowl. Roll it around the cinnamon sugar mixture until the entire ball is well covered. Place 12 balls on a cookie baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes. Watch the cookies very carefully as they can easily burn if accidently left in the oven longer than 8 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes on the pan, then remove to a cooling rack.
Store the cookies in an airtight container on the countertop up to a week or freeze for 2 months.
