1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, blending well after each addition.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
6. Prepare Rolling Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ¾ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for rolling the cookies.
7. Form the Cookies: Scoop dough into balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
