Have made these over and over. My friend's kids, visiting from England, loved them so much, I keep sending them a batch whenever I get a chance.

I think we have a new favorite cookie! I used 2 3/4 cups of wheat pastry flour. They are soft and yummy.

I make these cookies at least every other week-at 138 cal for 2 cookies I'm okay with these in Phase III of the South Beach diet. I made them for work and had to post the recipe, I had so many requests.

Best snickerdoodles ever! We prefer these to the more traditional snickerdoodles and they're healthier too!
