• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• cinnamon, mixed with
• Splenda granular, sugar substitute

directions

4. Enjoy the recipe!

This recipe is awful. It was very dry. The dough did not flatten for me either. When I smashed it with a glass prior to baking, it cooked, but tasted like flour and baking soda with sweet.

Please do not use this recipe. Resulting cookie is extremely dry and crumbly, with no spreading of the dough. The taste isn't horrible, but it needed a lot of milk to wash it down.

To quote my boyfriend, "They're taste like sugar-coated biscuits, only blander." The texture isn't right and the end product is very bland. The cookie itself has almost no flavor and the splenda/cinnamon mixture on the outside doesn't supplement it sufficiently.

My only real criticism is that they were very cakey in texture, not really like a snickerdoodle. This maybe could be alleviated by pressing them flat before baking and making them a little smaller??? I don't know. I made them for my Mom, since she is diabetic. She did not like them at all. My husband and I both liked them OK and there were a couple people at the party that really scarfed them up. My sister said she would have liked them better if they hadn't been called "snickerdoodles", just because that sets up certain expectations in your mind and then you are disappointed. This is, again, because of the cakey texture. Good overall, though. And I would make them again for someone who couldn't have sugar.
