Balls of cookie dough are rolled in cinnamon-sugar and baked...but not too brown, so they'll come out soft, yet chewy when cooled. The aroma that fills the home while these bake is simply heavenly. A good choice for the holidays.

Snickerdoodles

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt

2 teaspoons cream of tartar
