Kid's of all ages just love this cinnamon-topped cookie.
Photo © 2006 Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com, Inc.I found several dozen snickerdoodle recipes online, but I was looking for one without butter because a) the recipe I used to use was shortening based, and b) my son is allergic to dairy. I found a few that met the bill but the reviews were mixed and there were several comments about the cookies being too hard or not flattening. This is the recipe I tried, and having just eaten two more than I was planning on (and trying to limit it to that), I can assure you these are the perfect snickerdoodle. Very lightly crisp outside, fluffy and soft in the middle. Just like I remember. Thanks!
