1 cup salted butter, 2 sticks, softened
-
1 and 2/3 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
3 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Start by making the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
-
For the dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and cream of tartar. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Roll the dough into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick) on a floured surface. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough.
-
Roll the dough up tightly, lengthwise, and then slice it into individual cookies, about 1/2 inch thick.
-
For the rolling: Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl. Roll each cookie in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool slightly before serving.
Notes

You can drizzle a simple icing over the cookies after baking for an extra sweet touch.
