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!

One of the best cookies ever! I made these for an event at my child's school and got rave reviews! Great texture, and love the soft, chewy inside! The only bad thing is that they're dangerously addictive and it's hard not to eat too many at once!

    I am new to Snickerdoodles so I don't know how they are supposed to turn up but my son likes plain cookies only, no nuts no raisins. So this seemed like the cookie for him. My first attempt was Martha Stewart's recipe from her Cookies book. Total disappointment, too much baking powder, went to the bin. But this recipe, OMG absolutely heavenly. Soft inside and crunchy and crisp on the outside. This recipe is a star. Thank you, I will definitely bake them again.

    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!
