This was an excellent recipe
This was an excellent recipe for Snickerdoodles, used a 1/2 t vanilla since that was omitted in the ingredient list. My family says it is a keeper!!

Snickerdoodle recipes vary when it comes to the addition of vanilla extract. There are those that use it, and those that do not. We will leave it up to the baker in the case of this recipe.
