Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookies, but these weren't as wonderful as I was hoping for. Certainly not a bad recipe, but a little bland and lacking the "snickerdoodle" goodness. These cookies did have a very nice texture, though, and were just soft enough.

Excellent recipe. I was looking for one that didn't use very much butter because I only had one stick in the house ( a sin, I know) I was thrilled to see that this one used shortening instead. I was wondering if they would be as good as those I usually make with tons of butter. I was throughly impressed. These came out fantastic! I already ate 5 of them, and the kids aren't even home yet. This recipe was well written and easy to follow, plus made with ingredients I usually have on hand anyway. I will definitely make these again. Thank you for a fantastic recipe.

I had misplaced my recipe and used this one instead. It is excellent and made exactly 60 cookies as promised. I have added it to my own collection now. Many thanks for sharing.

My recipe for these is long gone, but I used to make them all the time when my sons were growing up. It didn't take long for a batch to disappear. Thank you for adding your recipe to the data base. They were perfect and I'm certain that I will be making them often once more.
