1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and eggs together using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or beaters. Slowly add in the flour mixture until it's thoroughly mixed.
4. Use a 1 or 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to form balls from the dough. Alternatively, you could roll the dough between your hands to create balls.
