Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of salted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • a large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • heaping tablespoon coconut greek yogurt
  • Rolling Mixtures:
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 3 teaspoons of cinnamon

Instructions

  • First step - put your butter in a pot and let it melt. Keep in on medium until it's fully melted and starts to froth up - it should have that nutty smell to it, like the first stage of caramel. This step is important - do not just throw the butter in the microwave. Lazy! You want that nuttiness from the butter almost burning.
  • Now - mix the butter (after it's been removed from the heat for about 7 minutes) with the sugars.
  • Then, mix in the eggs, vanilla and yogurt. Add the rest of the ingredients (slowly, of course) and ensure it's well mixed. Put in the fridge for 6 hours.
  • Once the 6 hours have passed, it's time to roll some dough!
  • Roll out in little balls - about 1 1/2 tablespoons - 2 tablespoons. Roll in the rolling mixture and place on a baking sheet about 2-3 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Take out and let cool. Let them cool for about 6 minutes before trying to remove them from the pan - they are fragile.
