Yep, thats what my mother said the first time I ever made this cookie. It is a GREAT cookie recipe, and not difficult to make at all. I tripled the recipe and took it to school to sell... I sold all of them with in an 80 minute time span to only 4 people. They are good cookies, I can't resist them whenever I make them. And they turn out so nice whenever you bake them, it's hard to make an ugly Snickerdoodle. lol. Enjoy. (prep time is estimated)

16 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar (I used light brown)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Topping

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

1
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars at high speed.
2
Add egg, vanilla, and beat until smooth.
3
In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
4
Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mix well.
5
Preheat oven to 300° while you let dough rest 30-60 minutes in fridge.
6
In a small bowl combine topping.
7
Take about 2 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball.
8
Roll this dough in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and press onto greased cookie sheet.
9
Bake cookies 10-12 minutes, NO MORE.
10
*Cookies may seem undercooked but will develop.
11
Don't roll your dough into too big of a ball; they may not turn out in that much time if you do that.
12
It happened to me.
13
lol.
14
If the cookies don't turn out, please try again.
15
It's a very good cookie, it's just all a matter of getting the cooking time right.

I am not really sure how this recipe has an almost 5 star rating. The ingredients are normal, but the directions are all wrong!! I just made my very first batch and I can tell you after having just searched the internet for other snickerdoodle recipes, this one is WAY off! First of all the temperature of the oven should not be set at 300, it should be set at 350. Also it says to roll 2 1/2 tablespoons of the dough into a ball. That is FAR too much. I actually measured out the first ball to make the rest the same size and my cookies were huge and cake-like. The correction is to use a heaping TEASPOON and drop it into the sugar cinnamon mixture. Roll it around to cover in the topping as it forms into a ball and just place it on the cookie sheet. I won't be using this recipe again.

The title is true — this is a real snickerdoodle. A bit of cinnamon in the dough makes it perfect. 9 minutes was plenty in my oven, though I made the cookie balls a little smaller than the recipe indicated. (A bonus for a small family: This recipe calls for only 1/2 cup butter and one egg — it does not make a huge number of cookies.)

As writen these produced an awesome texture cookie but I have to agree with another reviewer, they are a bit bland for a snickerdoodle. That isn't a bad thing if you are looking for a cookie to go with coffee or for kids. Add 1tsp of vanilla and 1tsp of cinnamon and get much better flavor though. With these changes definitely a 5 star recipe. Tip, keep cookie sheets in freezer and dough refridgerated between batches and the cookies will puff up instead of spread flat.

I made these December 23rd. It made large cookies and everyone who tried them loved them. They kept asking for more and they were gone in no time. I will definately make again and this time I will double or triple the batch.
