This mix won’t fit in a quart jar. But the mistake is delicious!!
We made these for pur couples Christmas fellowship and we added the ingredients needed … it was a loy of fun and they tasted delicious All the dry ingredients fit in the masson jar if you follow the instructions.
I haven’t made it (I prepared it as a gift) – but IT WOULDN’T FIT INTO THE JAR. There is no way that quantity of dry ingredients is going to go into a quart Mason jar. (And it didn’t. Simple math.) I packaged it in a Ziploc, and added a smaller Ziploc of topping mix, and a plastic tub containing the eggs and butter, and left it in the workplace fridge (in a cute gift bag) for my Secret Santa. I agree with the reviewer who said the other ingredients should be included if it’s a gift (if possible). Hope it tastes good!
Yum! I made a batch before we started to mass produce the jars… and boy were they good! I even made them vegan with egg replacer and earth balance – and you would have never known! So good!
super simple and super yummy always a party favorite 🙂
We made these as half of our wedding favors (other half were chocolate chip). Everyone raved about how good they were!
i tried to do the friendly kitchen view to see how many this serves but when i click on it takes me to another page that has a lasagna on it how many does this serve
Simple & was a great gift for church family & visitors!
I would add the cinnamon spice to the jar I don’t see any reason not too. www.diabeticsnacker.com/
YUM!!
sorry, but this is a time saver – it makes no sense to me. Why put the dry mix in a jar? Is this a gift without eggs & butter? why not just make the cookies and put the recipe in your box? I’m sure people would love to get the cookies made, not a jar of dry nothing.
Best snickerdoodle recipe I’ve found. I was on a search for the perfect recipe and had tried many when I found this. Whenever I share them with friends they ask for the recipe.
Yummy! I was able to make 54 cookies by making 1 inch balls as the recipe stated.
I love snickerdoodle cookies, so it wasn’t hard to win me over. This is definitely my give away gifts this year.
Great! I gave this to my friend for Hanukkah and she made them and brought them over and they were so great! Def make this for someone you love!
I made massive amounts of this mix for Christmas and it was loved by all. Instead of a jar, I used a heavy duty freezer zip lock and labeled them “Snickerdoodles in a Bag”. It was cheaper and very popular, will do it again for sure.
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.!
Made for teacher appreciation.
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.
I gave this as a Christmas gift and it was a big hit!
Best snickerdoodle recipe ever! Dont overcook, keep a watch since oven temps vary.
