I can not call these cookies snickerdoodles. They are not puffy nor do they have that crackled top that i love about my grandmother's snickerdoodles. No, these are flat and crunchy and, well, not snickerdoodley. Going through the list of ingredients before making this recipe, I knew these wouldnt turn out like I hoped. I believe it was because the lack of cream of tartar that the recipe called for. Here in Mexico, I have yet to find cream of tartar. or maybe it was jsut that i left them in the oven too long. ( i didnt make them for me, i made them for my inlaws, who dont like chewy cookies.) but at any rate these are not my fave cookies, although my FIL devours them.
