Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg for the topping.
Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your butter is softened, not melted, for the best cookie texture.
Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
For a stronger maple flavor, you can add a touch more maple syrup to the dough, but be mindful of the dough’s consistency.
These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
