As a spin-off of Yo Is This Racist (salty language; I made Cookie Psychologist.

I will interpret cookie preferences there until I can’t think of any more or I get bored.

I thought you should know.

    Oh, I suppose you’ll be wanting the directions, too.

    Directions
    1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    2.In a large bowl, combine sugar and spices; remove ½ cup of this mixture and place in a medium-sized, shallow dish

    3. Add butter to bowl and cream with sugar mixture until fluffy.

    4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract.

    5. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda. Add to sugar mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

    6. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and roll in reserved sugar-spice mixture. Place on baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between balls to allow for spreading.

    7. Bake for about 12 minutes, until edges are firm to the touch, but not quite browned.

    8. Cool for 3-5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
