1 3/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 C. sugar
1/4 C. butter, softened
1 T. corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 large egg
3 T. sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 375°. Combine flour, baking soda and cream of tartar, stirring with a whisk. Combine 1 cup of sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer until well blended. Add the corn syrup, vanilla and egg; beat well. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, beating just until combined. Chill for 10 minutes.
Combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon, stirring with a whisk. With moist hands, shape dough into forty-two 1″ balls. Roll balls in sugar mixture. Place balls 2″ apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Flatten balls with the bottom of a glass. Bake at 375° for 5 minutes (cookies will be slightly soft). Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes. Remove cookies from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
Yield: 42 cookies.
