Soft and Chewy Snickerdoodle Cookies

These cookies are too perfect to be true! They are so soft when bitten into and chewy when you are indulging it. Be sure to follow step by step though as one mistake (not chilling dough or too heaping of a measurement) could ruin the cookie. Hope you enjoy just as our family does!

Whoever submitted this omitted the sugar, to correct add 1 1/2 cups sugar, I also added an additional egg and these cookies came out very well. I have made the changes to the recipe and they have been posted posted, this should correct any problems. By the way, day three and the cookies are still soft.Reply
