I am not a Snickerdoodle cookie addict - I love to have chocolate in my cookies - but this is a delicous cookie! I made it with butter flavored shortening since I was low on butter and they came out perfect - a bit crisp on the outside - but chewy in the middle. I also added 1 tsp. vanilla - just something I do with every cookie recipe. One thing I do with my sugar cookies is add 1 tsp vanilla/1/2 tsp orange flavor and I bet that would work with this cookie also - just a a bit of a change. These are now being made as 'cookie in a bag' to give out during the holidays. Right now they're adorable with Fall/Halloween decorations on the bag with the recipe on the back of the bag. Thanks for a great cookie! Makes about 4 doz or so, plenty for our family...so on day three I can tell you that they were still nice, fresh and chewy. The last two will be gone after I make my coffee this a.m.!

I made a few of these and gave them as gift's for mother's day. They were alright (the finished product), they could have been better...but for someone who cooks all the time I really suck at measuring dry ingredients! So, it very well could have been my fault. Everyone else seemed to love the cookies though, so maybe it was just me! I still gave it 5 stars because the recipients of the gifts loved them.

Best snickerdoodle recipe ever! Dont overcook, keep a watch since oven temps vary.

I thought this was the greatest idea for a holiday present. I made about 6 jars worth of mix for my coworkers and it turned out to be a big hit. I'll definitely do this again!

I made these to add to my goodie baskets for christmas. I thought it was odd to give a gift of cookies in a jar when you had to add the cinnamon and sugar from your own pantry. I didn't feel right giving almost all of the ingredients. I put the 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in colored cling wrap and tied it with a bow. I had room to put it inside my jar as I had extra room, but if you didn't you could tie it to the jar. Overall it turned out to be a nice gift

These got rave reviews as Christmas gifts. Everyone said they were some of the best snickerdoodles they've ever had. I also enjoyed making these... they are about 100x faster and easier to prepare than the layered cookie jars. With pretty ribbon and fabric it doesn't matter that they don't have the layered look! Something different is always a nice change.

1/21/08 I was making this for a silent auction. Thought that I had better see how good they are. Most excellent! The kids loved them and said they were better than the ones at the local grocery store. We are at a higher elevation so I did add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help the dough stick togther. It worked out really good! Thanks!

Bought some cute xmas decorated asian style take-out boxes and was perusing recipes for xmas gifts. I saw the snickerdoodle recipe, thought I'd make it first before giving out the mix, OH MY! These have got to be the best cookies i've had in a long time, yes, as someone said, and even my starbucks-employed son agreed, these are better than starbucks snickerdoodles. I only made minor changes, I used whole wheat flour, pressed slightly on the cookie before baking and baked at 300 for 15 min...

This was really good. Even though eveyone said Snickerdoodles were not their favorite cookie, they were the first type of cookies to be gone.

tastes amazing as they come out of the oven, but way too hard and crunchy the next day.

Excellent! Definately like the addition of the 1 tsp vanilla and then the nutmeg with the cinnamon and sugar. My husband said these were perfect! Oh, and with the crumbling and sticking to the pan, I just sprayed some Pam and had NO problems at all.
