In a large bowl cream together the butter & sugars. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

In another bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.

Preheat oven to 320º while you let the dough rest in the fridge.

In a small bowl combine the sugar with the cinnamon for topping. Roll about 2 1/2 tbsp. of dough into a ball. Roll this dough around in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and place on a ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes and no more!! Cookies may seem under cooked but continue to develop after removed from the oven.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
If you read my story in the front of this book, then you will know why this recipe is very special and teared my eyes while I was typing it. My first baking job as a young child that my Mom gave me was this very cookie. I always thought of that cookie being special, just like me and my Mom's. I was so surprised when I asked my daughter for one of her recipes and this was it. It was like I'm ushering in the next generation for the King recipes in, and my daughter started with the same one I did 60 years ago. Although her cookie was perfect and well improved over Snickerdoodles from the past. Her Grandma June would be so proud of her.
