- 250g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for coating

- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

- Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centres are just set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
