Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
2
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue to beat until fully combined and smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar until well combined.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
5
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and make the dough easier to work with.
6
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
7
Once chilled, use a tablespoon, or a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll each piece into a 1-inch ball.
8
Roll each cookie dough ball in the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar before placing them into a well greased mini muffin pan, ensuring they're spaced apart.
9
Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
10
Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, gently press an unwrapped Dove chocolate miniature into the center of each cookie. Be careful not to push it all the way through the bottom.
11
Let the cookies cool completely in the pan. For quicker cooling, you may place the pan in the refrigerator for a few minutes before removing the cookies.
