Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheets:
-
Step 1- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 2- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda to combine. Set aside.
-
Step 3- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed to cream the butter, coconut oil, and 1 1⁄4 cups sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat until combined. Slowly beat in the flour mixture.
-
Step 4- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Combine the remaining 1⁄4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a shallow dish.
-
Step 5- Form Cookies: Using a large 3-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, divide the dough into balls then roll in sugar to coat evenly. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart, and lightly flatten with the bottom of a measuring cup. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar, if desired.
-
Step 6- Bake Cookies: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies set and begin to brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Step 7- Storage: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
