How to make this recipe

1. To make a little festive joy in a bowl, begin by creaming together one cup of unsalted butter, one cup of granulated sugar, and one cup of brown sugar until everything is light and fluffy. Add two eggs and one teaspoon of vanilla essence now, beating until they form a big, happy family.
2. Mix one teaspoon baking soda, half a teaspoon salt, half a teaspoon cream of tartar, and three cups all-purpose flour in a separate basin. Allow those arid components to blend harmoniously.
3. Slowly bring the dry components to the liquid ones and mix them together until they become friends, resulting in a tender dough that sounds almost like Christmas music.

5. After baking, let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. It’s like watching winter turn into a cozy, sweet embrace.
6. This recipe yields approximately 36 cookies.
