You can make the balls, but they're softer than soft butter. Also, I used all the cinnamon sugar .. and ended up with almost three dozen cookies!

I used Vietnamese Cassia cinnamon from Penzys Spice and the intense cinnamon make the cookies extra special. Had to call my mother and ask what shortening was (used Crisco).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('266','Cookbookkid'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Just tried the recipe and they turned out perfect.

Does using it lighten them up more? The recipe I use also calls for cream of tartar, which I believe helps raise the acidity for the baking soda to kick in. Who knows, it's the only cookie I have with cream of tartar. I love snickerdoodles because they are simple, delicious and very hard to screw up. Have you tried not flattening them? I just roll into balls and call it a day. Best of luck with the sugery!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('260','Brian'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Like Patricia, I have a Snickerdoodle recipe sans shortening.

I always reduce the cinnamon-sugar mixture by at least half since they always tell you to make too much. I figure it's not that hard to mix up more if I run out but that's never happened.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('263','paula'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I love Snickerdoodles.
