Classic cookie! Chilling the dough for 20-30 minutes before baking makes for easier handling. I removed them from the oven just as they were beginning to brown at the 9 minute mark. Perfection!
This recipe has been my go-to since 2013! Thank you so much for sharing it. My family, friends, and college students all adore this recipe!
The only change I did was add some much needed vanilla. I used a cookie scoop and I got 42 cookies out of the batch. 8min 400° on the upper rack for my oven was perfect. I didn’t have cream of tartar and they turned out just fine.
This is my go-to recipe when I want to make quick and easy cookies that taste great. Once I bought cream of tartar, I could make this recipe any time because all the other ingredients were readily available. One of my favorites! Would definitely recommend.
Based on reviews I added 1 tbsp vanilla and changed baking temp to 375 and they were perfect in 9 min with 3 extra minutes on pan before cooling rack. Exceptional!
I followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfect! Thank you! They’re delicious!
Great recipe. Didn’t have shortening so I used a cup of butter. I sprinkled a little cinnamon in the batter. The dough is sticky. So I dropped my scoops in a bowl and shook it with the sugar/cinnamon mix. Then rolled a bit and put it on sheet. I dipped an end of a cup in the sugar mix then flattened down the cookie. Worked great. Nice and uniform
I love this recipe, with no changes made. I make them for Christmas for my family members as well as other cookies. Hands down my go to.
I added 1tsp almond extract. Enjoy!
Very good
first batch was gone before the second batch was baked (only one cookie sheet). will definitely make again!!
Yummy!
This has a really weird aftertaste. I followed directions to a T. I’ve never used cream of tartar or crisco before. Maybe that was it? Not very sweet.
Recipe is fine definitely turn temp DOWN to 375 or 370 as sugar burns quickly at 400 – ruined the taste of almost an entire batch – turned down to 370 for last tray -that was perfect
This recipe is great!! I did make a few tweaks though. I separated the dough into threebowls and colored each one a different color. I rolled out the dough and made a log. I then sliced the dough before dipping in the cinnamon sugar mix. To let the color show, I added less cinnamon and more sugar. I will make this again!
Came out perfect. My favorite snickerdoodle recipe
My cookie dough looks more like cake batter. Any suggestions on how to fix it will be greatly appreciated
so yummy! I used a butter flavored crisco stick because I didn’t have regular shortening or a regular crisco stick. Tasted perfect.
I made them for church. Husband snitched from the first batch. These remind me of my mom’s! So very good!
soft and delicious
This Snickerdoodle recipe produces a light, tan-colored cookie with just an ever-so-slight crunch on the outside and a great chewy inside. I had no cream of tartar and looked up a replacement. My choice was baking powder, and these turned out perfectly.
