Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine sugar and cinnamon for cookie topping in a small bowl. Set aside. Cream sugar and butter at medium speed for 3-5 min or until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. In another bowl, sift together flour, cream of tartar, soda and salt. Blend the flour mixture into butter mixture slowly and thoroughly.
