Instructions

Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
In a small bowl, mix additional brown sugar with ground cinnamon for the filling.
Take a tablespoon of dough, flatten slightly, add a sprinkle of cinnamon-sugar, fold and roll into a ball.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes until edges are set.
Cool cookies on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Whisk powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze; drizzle over cooled cookies.

Optional toppings include raw sugar, extra cinnamon, chopped toasted pecans, or white chocolate curls.
Great with coffee, chai latte, or fruit salad for a cozy treat.
Can be made into ice cream sandwiches or gifted in wrapped bags.
