    Pretty good. Added a quarter tsp. vanilla and used 1/4 cup of butter in lieu of shortening. Just barely mixed the ingredients together with the blender and didn't need to flatten them as they flattened on their own. They turned out huge and with almost a one inch dome. I baked these in 3 pans. The first pan stayed in for 12 minutes. They didn't turn light brown at all, but didn't burn. They were only pretty good. The next batch baked 10-11 minutes and was better. The last batch baked only 9 minutes and came out with the middle juuuust baked and almost melty. These were absolutely great. They rose super high and are impressively sized. I got 21 cookies, so the directions are good as long as you make 1.5 inch balls as directed. More than 2 of these is a meal.

    These were the best. My family unanimously agreed that they melt in your mouth.

    These are the best cookies I have ever made from scratch. They were just the right chewiness, with a melt-in-your mouth finish. the best part is, I didn't have to follow the recipe exactly and I still got amazing results. I substituted extra virgin olive oil for shortening, and mixed it up with the margarine by hand, not bothering to whisk it until it was fluffy. I mixed in the sugar and didn't whisk that either, and I used pumpkin pie spice blend instead of cinnamon to roll the dough in. the cookies are absolutely amazing, and it is impossible to eat just one. I'll definitely be making them again

    These are best straight out of the oven (of course but they are still yummy the next day, if there are any left.

    The flavor of these cookies is very good, but I gave them 4 stars because of some problems with the directions. First, the recipe says it makes only 20 cookies, so I made a double batch, but in truth, one batch will make at least 4 dozen, so I wound up with over a hundred of these! Also, these cookies spread quite a bit when they bake, so if you make the balls 1-1/2 inches, the cookies will be huge. Finally, I could not get them to be soft in the middle, even when I reduced both the heat and the cooking time. All that said, this is a very tasty, albeit crunchy cookie.

    I want to start off by saying, before trying this recipe, I'd never even tasted a Snickerdoodle. I am not a fan of sweets, but will occassionally nibble on a cookie or other sweet. Hearing the name Snickerdoodles, I always thought of overly sweet chewy cookies. When I tried this recipe I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring. These cookies were so DELICIOUS! I ate 5 back to back! I ended up having to make 4 more batches after allowing friends and family to taste, they were all hooked. My husband usually likes my cookies, but never comments, when he tasted these his eyes lit up and he said they were good and tasted better than any he'd had. Also my batch made almost 60 cookies, Emeril must have had gigantic cookies.

    Very easy and DELICIOUS!!! I keep getting requests from my family to make them and then they disappear from the cooling racks! (must be something wrong with those racks! The only thing I changed, I use 3 whole cups of flour. There won't be a Holiday from now on without these cookies. Thanks Emeril!

    These are the truest snikerdoodle cookie recipe I have found. These cookies are so easy and so tasty. The best way to start off the holiday.
