This recipe was easy to make but not very clear. It never said when to add the vanilla extract so I had to guess on that one, and when everything was done and the dough had been chilled it still was not dough-like. Also, you say to flatten the cookies with a sugared fork, how are you supposed to get the sugar to stick to the fork? And once you press on the cookies with the fork, the cookies stick to it. After baking one batch (following the recipe exactly as shown) the cookies came out flat and did not taste like most snickerdoodles I've made in the past. These were also not soft, after cooling they were hard. -
I found this recipe easy to make - unlike previous recipes where I had to chill dough several hours. This one was quick and simple. Took entire batch into small office and they were gone within 3 hours! I will make again!
