These cookies are worth a mention: Snickerdoodles! Before now, I had never made these cookies, nor had I ever even been in their presence. I must say I am now a huge fan of snickerdoodles, and everyone should try this recipe!
Since I'd never made them before, I had no clue how big the make the balls.
These are about 2 inches wide.
I still don't know how big a snickerdoodle is supposed to be,
but mine came out about 4 inches across.
Recipe from allrecipes.comThese are about 2 inches wide.

MY NOTES: Increase the cinnamon-sugar coating to 3 Tbsp sugar and 1 Tbsp cinnamon. If you make them smaller, they will be done in 7 minutes. Mine were done in 9 minutes. They are slightly crunchy around the edges and soft in the middle... Yum!

What type (brand) of baking sheet do you recommend for this recipe? I never know which one to buy--which one turns out the best cookies?
I used two different pans. The first batch baked on a large 14x20 Wilton aluminum cookie sheet. The cookies spread out a little bit more. The second batch baked on a heavy non-stick cookie sheet. They puffed up better.
I don't bake cookies that often, so I don't know how other cookie recipes fare on different cookie sheets.
Were these Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles recipe? I made these last christmas and they were awesome. I love how they crack on top!
Yes these were Mrs. Sigg's. They are sooo delicious, and as far as I know, all snickerdoodles are supposed to crack on top :D
hi i never saw this site before but i will probably be comming here more often now but anyhow i grew up on snickerdoodles and 4 in is about right and they are all supposed to crackle on top if they don't then they don't have the cream of tarter in them which gives them the kick too
These are my all time favorite cookies. I suggest that before you bake them, flatten them slightly with the bottom of a glass. One time I forgot to and they nearly all slid off the tray.
