Cream together, butter, sugar and eggs.
Combine next 4 dry ingredients: flour, cream of tarter, baking soda and salt.
Slowly add dry ingredients to creamed eggs and sugar mixture using slow mixer until mixed.

The cookies puff at first then flatten out. The longer you bake them, the harder they become. If you like them soft, try a shorter bake time.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This was a childhood favorite of mine. My Grandmother Caroline Cobb, Lois Cobb Lenz's mother, made these cookies for all the grandkids when we would come visit.

Grandma Caroline Pelton Cobb was married to John Cobb and they lived, farmed and raised 8 children on the farm outside of Ford KS. Ford was about 10 miles East of Dodge City, KS.

Lois Cobb Lenz was the youngest of the 8 children.
