In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the applesauce, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and mix until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated. Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Use the bottom of a glass to gently flatten each cookie.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
