Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cookies and Bars

These are just great cookies... they are best warm, right out of the oven.

"We really enjoyed these tasty biscuits. I had planned to freeze some for later but there wasn't enough left! My only adjustment was to replace the baking soda and cream of tartar with 3 teaspoons of baking powder (equivalent). They were nicely crunchy on the outside but still just a little soft on the inside - perfect. Thanks for sharing the recipe. " - AlpineYve

Snickerdoodles Preparation

Stir together 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon, and set aside.

Beat margarine and 1 1/2 cups sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to margarine mixture, beating until blended. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Notes

I use butter instead of margarine in these.

    These turned out yummy! I added a hint of vanilla & almond extracts for additional flavor. These cookies were nice and chewy....will definitely make again!

    I have always wondered what snikerdoodles were. So when I saw the recipe I decided to try and was surprised at how easy and delicious they are. Crunchy and soft, sending a box of them to the grands for Christmas. Think I will do some experimenting with different flavors other than cinnamon which is to strong for my taste.

    This is the first time I made snickerdoodles... They were easy, taste great & are still soft after cooling.

    Okay tasted good but the dough did not turn out... it was to thin like a cake batter and the cookies came out bready... but tasted correct
