Instructions

Melt the butter and pour it over the sugar in a large bowl, letting it sit for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, sweet rice flour, oat flour, and tapioca flour with the cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Whisk the egg and vanilla into the cooled butter and sugar mixture until the emulsion is smooth and fully combined.
Stir the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, then beat the dough with a wooden spoon for exactly 60 strokes to help the starches bond.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then roll into balls and coat them heavily in a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Bake at 350ºF for 8 to 10 minutes; immediately after removing from the oven, give the pan a firm rap on the counter for a dense texture.

Notes

To ensure the best texture, do not skip the 60-stroke beating step, as this helps the gluten-free starches bind effectively. If you prefer an extra-tangy cookie, you can slightly increase the cream of tartar by half a teaspoon without affecting the structural integrity.
