Using a mixer, in a medium bowl, beat together the 1 1/2 cups of Sugar with Butter until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the 2 1/2 tsp of ground Cinnamon, Vanilla and the Eggs one at a time, until well combined.
Add in the Flour, 1 cup at a time until blended.
Continue to add in the Cream of Tartar, Baking Soda and Salt.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 min - 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375F and prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
Take this time to mix together in a small bowl the reserved 1/4 cup of Sugar and 3 tsp of ground Cinnamon to make your Cinnamon Sugar coating.
Now with refrigerated cookie dough, make 1 Tablespoon size portions and roll in the palm of your hand to form a ball.
Place in Cinnamon Sugar coating and roll around to coat. Place on parchment lined baking sheets. Continue until all cookie dough is used.
Bake 2 inches apart (they will spread) for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden.
Cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes then carefully transfer to racks to cool.
