PREP OVEN AND BAKING SHEETS:

Move the oven rack to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.

MAKE COOKIE DOUGH:

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1 ½ cup sugar until fluffy and lightened in color.
Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the flour mixture and combine until no flour streaks remain.
