Would make this again.
I used Crisco instead of butter and they are 'sturdier' and don't spread as much. I also added Vanilla. I used Baking Spice from Penzey's Spice online. Yummy. five stars

They baked up real nice--think they need vanilla for more flavor-but overall they are a good cookie. four stars

I love these cookies! I've had this recipe for several years and everyone who's tried them when I made them absolutely loved them. They are quick, easy and oh so delicious! :o) five stars

i found this recipe before and loved it. snickerdoodles are the one cookie i can make and eat. other cookies taste fine, but i want nothing to do with them once they are baked. chilling the dough over night in the fridge can help reduce the spreading. five stars

Would not make this again.
Spreads alot. Did not care for these...too much like a oatmeal cookie adn not enough like a snickerdoodle. We are bigger fans of the snickerdoodle side in our house. perhaps more cinnamon in dough would have helped two stars
