Just a note for those who have had bad results…you must use shortening (not butter) for the recipe to come out right!

These cookies were amazing! So simple to make, and then they were just crisp enough on the outside to hold together, and perfectly soft on the inside, these are going in my recipe book of Family Approved Recipes!

These didn’t turn out for me. They didn’t flatten, and there’s an odd aftertaste….maybe from all the cream of tartar and soda? I’ve never had a snickerdoodle before, so maybe this is how they’re supposed to taste? I’m going to try a Martha recipe, and see…before i give up on snickerdoodles completely. I did use butter instead of shortening.

HIGH ALTITUDE REVIEW: The taste of these cookies was wonderful, but unfortunately they turned out very hard and dry, when baked at my 7200′ elevation above sea level. I’ll make a second attempt tonight with some high altitude adjustments and report my findings! In the meantime, the first batch is getting gobbled up after a swim in some coffee or milk.

These are the perfect Snickerdoodles! I made these the other day and my family and friends could not get enough of them. This will definitely be the recipe I use for snickerdoodles.

I made these this weekend while I had some family in town and everyone loved them. Mine were a little on the crisp side (I love a chewy snickerdoodle), but I think I may have been making them a little smaller than called for. Either way – delicious.

These are wonderful! They are the perfect combination of chewy and crispy!

Very good cookies! I used all shortening and they taste great. If you like your cookies to be soft in the middle, cook for the least amount of time and remove from cookie sheet as soon as possible.

So delicious! I made these with a few changes to the recipe: butter instead of shortening, a splash (~1 tsp) of vanilla, baking powder instead of cream of tartar, and replaced 1/3 of the flour with whole wheat flour. They came out very light and airy with a subtle flavor. I wasn’t sure what the ratio of sugar to cinnamon should be for the “mixture,” but next time I think I’d do a bit more cinnamon. Thanks for the great recipe!
