These easy to make cookies are an easy favorite for just about anyone! And if you can’t have nuts, these are a great cookie for you to try! The cream of tartar give them a little tang, and the cinnamon and sugar they are rolled in before baking ends up looking like crackle after the cookies have spread and baked. And if you can eat them warm, without eating the whole batch, you absolutely must, you will be in cookie heaven!
