2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.

4. 4

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
