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)

This was a fantastic recipe. My 8 yr old daughter made them. She made the dough, rolled each ball then chilled them. After 1 hr she rolled in the cinnamon mix and pressed onto a baking tray adn baked them. After being baked for 12 minutes they were perfect. NB: I don't use vanilla I always have a jar of brandy with whole vanilla pods soaking in there. I always substitute 1 tsp of this nstead of vanilla essense. Thanks for sharing such a great and simple recipe

    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.

    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.
