Preheat oven 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 2 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Beat in butter. Cream together with both sugars, followed by one egg at a time and vanilla. Scrape bowl as needed. Mix in salt, baking soda, cream of tartar and cinnamon. Add one cup of flour at a time, increasing speed between additions.
Scoop dough using a medium cookie scoop, leveling off each scoop. Carefully roll into a ball. Roll dough ball in prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture. Space 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. *See notes

Notes
Dough will be soft and may be sticky. Lightly greased hands can help with this. Dough may be chilled prior to working with or between batches but is not necessary. An original recipe from Baked by Rachel
