Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter softened

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅛ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. With a hand mixer, beat the butter and ¼ cup of sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar and mix into a dough.
