  1. Great recipe! I made it exactly as written except I noticed as someone else mentioned that my second batch (I got 16 onto a tray and then 9 more from one batch) had time to "fluff up" while the first batch was baking and were a bit softer and fuller. Maybe just letting the batter rest 5 minutes is a good idea. But overall very tasty and very easy!
     
  2. These is a fabulous recipe for this classic cookie! My first batch was thin and only needed 4.5-5min to cook and the second was a bit thicker needing the 6min. Thanks so much! Soft and DELICIOUS!
     
  3. I used all white flour instead of wheat, and a tartar/soda combo instead of baking powder--but the basic recipe is awesome! Very soft/chewy, just like a snickerdoodle should be! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  4. Very good cookie. I was looking for something sweet to make from the items I had in my pantry. These fit the bill very well, and satisfied my craving for something sweet. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  5. Fantastic made these for PAC orphanage 07 and wasn't disappointed.
