These cookies are so delicious, and they have the best texture. They are so fast to put together too! I actually got it from an old recipe that my Great Grandma had clipped out of a newspaper. Grandma always knows best!

    These turned out very well...I got lots of compliments on them at work. I wasn't sure how many the recipe would yield, so I doubled in so I could bring lots of cookies to work. I used the Pampered Chef small scoop (it's about 1tbsp) to scoop out the dough, and it yielded 110 cookies for the double batch.

    Yes, these are soft and delicious. However, I must be snickerdoodle impaired b/c it took me until the very last bit of dough to figure this recipe out. The cookies MUST be measured into heaping teaspoon or tablespoons (depending on preference) to turn out. My first few rounds of dough turned out still doughy in the middle. But, once I reduced the size of the cookies they were excellent. They even cracked on the top. So, don't make the same mistake I did. Make the cookies small! I also had to adjust the temp to 360 degrees for my tempermental oven. These cookies are incredibly soft and the dough is amazing once I figured it out! Thanks!

    These taste like the cookies my grandmother baked for me 45 years ago when I was very young. I've always searched for the recipe thinking it was a sugar cookie. Grandma never called it a snickerdoodle! Thanks for the memory!
