We loved it! I added some crunched peanuts to the dough and the cookies turned out lovely. Thanks for the recipe,

I've tried a few recipes for snickerdoodles using vegetable oil and really like how easily the dough comes together. So, I just experimented with this one, making only half the recipe. I had to drop the batter on the sheet as it was too runny to shape, and then I sprinkled the topping onto the cookies. Baked at 375°F as I find 400°F usually produces poor results in my oven. The cookie has a wonderful, light and fluffy texture but is not overly sweet. Maybe I will add a dash of the topping mixture into the dough. Definitely will make again.

Turnout out very dry but otherwise tasty.

Easy and delicious... haven't made snickerdoodles in ages and these hit the spot. Not bland for me at all.

Thank you so much for this recipe! My husband loves snickerdoodles, but my 2 year old is allergic to cinnamon. I agree that you should use a cookie dough scoop instead of rolling by hand. The dough is sticky, but so worth it. We love these cookies!

This recipe was really good. I'm in my second tri with my third baby and I was craving this cookie. It totally hit the spot. For those who needed to add flour to roll the dough try purchasing a cookie scooper. If you can get the dough into the sugar you don't need to add any flour :)

My husband and I are lucky enough to live near an Amish market. We happened upon CINNAMON mini chips like chocolate mini chips only CINNAMON when we were there today. I added those to this recipe changing nothing else and they are fantastic.

The new family favorite! Anytime we want cookies we bake these. SOOOO TASTY! We are a family who loves cinnamon, so we add cinnamon to the dough as well as rolling them in cinnamon sugar. We've made them for all our family and friends, and taken them to birthday and christmas parties. Always leave with an empty container.

I had to add additional flour for the dough to be rolled. I sprinkled some additional cinnamon/sugar on them before baking and they taste great.

I'm not generally a fan of snickerdoodles. But, I decided to try making them for the first time this holiday season. I was out of lemon, but loved the idea of citrus to brighten it up, so I zested an orange. I was a little worried about the batter as it did not roll very easily without sticking. But, the final product was delicious!

These were wonderful! Usually, I'm not much of a snickerdoodle fan, but I loved these! I'm glad that this recipe didn't have cream of tartar of butter, as that's exactly what I was looking for. However, when put for 8 minutes, the cookies came out very flat and slightly burnt on the edges. I found that 6 minutes was enough time for a tray of cookies. Thanks for the recipe!

Cookies are absolutely delicious, i've been craving snickerdoodles for a couple of weeks and finally had the time to bake up a batch! I really enjoyed not using butter for this recipe, the oil was enough moisture to allow the cookies to spread as they baked beautifully without losing their shape!! The taste is delicious as well, aiding another 1 t. of baking powder aided in making the cookies light! Delicious, thx again!

These came out great! I didn't use the lemon rind, just the cinnamon, and they were delicious! I like to experiment so I made another batch, and added 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg to the flour blend; they came out great too! :) Happy baking!
