Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer, cream together butter (barely softened) and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well.
In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture - twice.
Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let sit on the cookie sheet for a few additional minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.

I loved the recipe. I made for the residents in my assisted living . I did forget to put the cinnamon on the top but they didn't mind. I will put on the next time.

The Snickerdoodles were perfect! They were just as described,,,,,crispy on the outside but so moist and soft on the insisde. And full of flavor! I took them to a party at church, and had so many compliments. This recipe is going into my "favorites folder."!
