This is an easy recipe to double if you want a large batch. I can get 30 cookies from a single batch if I make them small, about 1 inch balls.

recipe found here

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

For rolling:
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on high speed. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.

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

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

4. Preheat oven to 300 degrees while you let the dough rest for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator (or 20 min in freezer).

5. In a small bowl, combine the sugar with the cinnamon for the topping.

6. Take about 2 1/2 Tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball (I make them smaller and get about 30 cookies). Roll this dough in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and press it onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat for the remaining cookies.

7. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. When the cookies have cooled they should be soft and chewy in the middle.
