1. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat and put in refrigerator to chill.
2
2. Whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
3
3. Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, it should have a very light and fluffy texture (think mousse, kinda).
4
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition (just when you think you've beaten the eggs well enough, beat some more).
5
Beat in the vanilla.

4. Gradually stir in the flour mixture, slowly beating just until the flour is blended.

10. Let cookies set on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack. And if you're super daring - eat one fresh out of the oven (it'll be hard to stop yourself) or grab some nutella, make a snickerdoodle/nutella sandwich, and prepare yourself for a heart attack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
