This is a very good recipe. I will make these again, However, I will add more Cinnamon to the Cinnamon Sugar mixture that the cookies are rolled into before baking. I will probably increase it to 1 tablespoon instead of the 1/2 tablespoon. My husband loved them but wishes they had more Cinnamon taste. Happy Baking....

These are the BEST Snickerdoodles I have made by far. They turned out nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will be using this recipe from now on!
