Seriously, how did I not know about this!?
How to make snickerdoodles.
Beat the butter on med-high for about 30 seconds before adding half of the flour, the sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Then add the rest of the flour and beat it all together.
Roll your dough into 1-inch balls and then roll them around in the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Place the balls two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 11 minutes at 375 degrees (F). The edges will brown slightly. 
Cool your snickerdoodles on a wire rack (or, you know, whatever).
