No.

2 3/4 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs

Cinnamon sugar:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt together and set aside.
Cream butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs and
mix. Add dry ingredients and mix. Roll dough into small balls, about
the size of a walnut, and roll in cinnamon sugar. Place 2" apart on
ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
