Scrumptious Snickerdoodles

"This is my favorite recipe for these. I "stole" the recipe from one of my good friend's moms and now this is the only recipe I use for these cookies! I especially love that the dough doesn't have to be refrigerated. Cooking time is per pan."

  1. Wonderful cookies! These have a nice soft texture. Mine did not flatten out the first go round so I had nice snickerdoodle balls but then the other sheets I pressed them down using a glass and they were perfect (maybe the humidity 'round these parts was messing with the cookies). Did not matter as they are a nice light cookie full of flavor! Made for the I Recommend Tag Game in Cooking Games with Friends Forum based off of loof's review!

  4. Great Snickerdoodle cookie! My DH loved them. I baked for 8 minutes. They were crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Thanks QueenJellyBean.
