Snickerdoodles

Submitted by Delish

"I love these cookies! They are slightly crisp on the outside and so soft and tender on the inside. These are my dad's favorite cookies- I made them for him often. This recipe uses both shortening and butter."

This is probably the best snickerddodle recipe that I have tried. Exactly the way that I like them, crunchy on the outside and soft in the midle.

This is the classic snickerdoodle recipe I've been looking for! It's perfect. I didn't have shortening and used all butter instead, so I think they spread out a little more. I can't wait to make these again with shortening.

These are fabulous cookies! I added a teaspoon of vanilla and decreased the cream of tartar slightly. I found it easiest to scoop the cookie balls onto one big sheet, then let them firm up in the fridge before rolling and sugaring them. This recipe is going into my file immediately!
