- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, cream of tartar and baking soda.
- Add the flour mix to the butter mix, and combine until fluffy.
- Chill dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour or longer.

- When ready to bake, drop the batter by the tablespoons onto the cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, making sure not to let them brown.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
- If you like you can decorate your cookies! Depending on the type of sprinkles you decide to decorate with, you can sprinkle them on before you bake them. The sprinkles I used here are too delicate for baking so I sprinkled them on after.
