    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      1. Preheat and Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. Make the Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2\u20133 minutes). Add eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Roll and Coat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon and sugar for coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4. Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Bake for 9\u201311 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden. The centers should still look soft\u2014they\u2019ll firm up as they cool. Let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5. Optional: Double Coat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      For extra churro goodness, give the warm cookies a second roll in cinnamon sugar right after baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Want them extra festive? Drizzle with a quick vanilla glaze or dunk in hot chocolate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • For a stuffed version, add a dollop of dulce de leche or Nutella inside each dough ball.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
