Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup softened unsalted butter and 4 oz softened cream cheese and beat until creamy and combined. Add 1¾ cup granulated sugar and beat until light and creamy and well-combined.

2. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir well.

3. In a separate bowl, stir together 3¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1½ teaspoon cream of tartar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.

6. Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and scoop by 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized portions. Roll into a smooth ball between your palms and roll through cinnamon/sugar topping mixture until completely coated.
