They didn't look like the pic but they did turn out good. I put the batter in the freezer for 10 mins and baked for 10 mins. My cookies were crunchy but it wasn't a bad crunchy. They tasted great!

I doubled this recipe, but found it too soft to form firm balls & the globs I did manage to get & coat flattened out to large cookies on the sheet. What gives?

This recipe was absolutely gross. They wouldn't cook...and tasted horrible. Not to mention they are flat like regular cookies. Awesome since they were for a cookie bake.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cookies are hard and crunchy. Aren't snickerdoodles suppose to be soft?

I have never been a big fan of snickerdoodles, but I thought I would try these. They were very easy to mix up. After reading other reviews I left them in the refrigerator overnight. Some of them came out looking like the picture, but most of them flattened out like a normal cookie. Still not a big fan, but they are ok.

So good and easy to make. I put them in the freezer for 10min. before putting in th oven and they stayed rounded. Cute and YummY! Will make again.
