Phenomenal cookies! I used 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla. Tip: smaller balls make crunchier cookies. Larger balls will make a cookie with a soft center. Will double the recipe next time.

To adapt these to gluten free and dairy free I used smart balance instead of butter and added an extra egg, 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum and used brown rice flour instead of regular flour. I had to add about 1/2 cup more brown rice flour because of the extra egg. I also happened to be out of cream of tartar so I added 2 teaspoons of white vinegar. The kids said they were the best snickerdoodles they ever had. They were extremely soft and cake like.

Delicious! These have the perfect cinnamon and sugar flavor. They are on the crispy side, next time I may adjust the baking time. Easy to prepare, my daughter even helped me make them.

This is a simple to follow, quickly prepared recipe. The snickerdoodle flavor is just right. The only thing off for us was the texture. They were too crunchy. Our expectation is that snickerdoodles should be chewier. I ended up with 31 cookies, so I know I was making them about the correct size. For most cake and cookie recipes my oven requires the upper limit of suggested time. I baked the first sheet for 11 minutes and the second and third for 10. They were not over done/too brown. Perhaps it is due to the all butter component rather than the butter/vegetable shortening combination that "classic" snickerdoodle recipes usually use, though it was that this was an all butter recipe that drew me to it.

These are my son in law's favorite cookie. They have a crisp exterior with a chewy center. I will definitely double the recipe next time because they disappear rapidly.

Very good, easy, everyday cookie. I doubled the recipe and got a large batch very quickly. No need to chill the dough before rolling into balls. I froze half the batch after cooling.

Kids devoured these. I actually added cinnamon to the batter and also rolled the cookies in the cinnamon sugar. I did not get 30 cookies, more like 20. I would definitely double this recipe.

At the very first batch, this cookie recipe catapulted to the top requested cookie that I bake for family and friends. Now, every other cookie recipe I bake has to live up to their deliciousness.
