I LOVED THESE! And i'm not a snickerdoodle lover! i used splenda for baking in place of white sugar and splenda brown sugar (YUM) for the brown sugar. i used 1/3 c. wonderslim in place of the egg (you can get this at wild oats health food store-it is basically prunes/dates cooked down and put through a seive and it replaces eggs as well as fats in recipes. it is great stuff and no artificial junk or hydrogenated oils or cholesterol-and it doesn't alter the taste). i accidentally put the topping mix ingredients in the dough because it doesn't separate them on the ingred. list but i think that made it better. of course i had to make topping to go on the outside too. ***it is important to take these out when they are crackly on the outside and look wet on the inside. they finish outside the oven. my first batch was crunchy but still the best snickerdoodle ever-couldn't keep hubby and kids out of them!

I made this for our break room at vacation bible school and brought bagels to spread it on. Everyone loved it and my PICKY friend even asked for the recipe and said it's worth picking the raisins out. I didn't have golden raisins so i used craisins and it was great. i also burned my pecans the first time so i threw in untoasted pecans (i was running late). still great though!
