Grease large or set baking paper on a large baking pan. Preheat the oven to 350°f.
To make the topping mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter together until creamy. Once combined add eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing well. Once a thick dough is formed, roll into medium size balls.
Roll balls in topping and set of greased pan. (Make sure cookies are spaced generously)
