I give it 5 stars! I made them in literally 30 mins.From mixing 2 pulling them out of the oven.A good way to give them a little more snicker to there doodle is right when you pull them out of the oven sprinkle some of your sugar/cinnamon mix on top and it just makes them that much better! :o) five stars

These were wonderful. I have to wonder about the people who said they were gross......you didn't by any chance use tartar SAUCE did you? I ask because my friend did this. I couldn't believe it. If you aren't sure what an ingredient is or is supposed to look like....GOOGLE IT! five stars

Easy recipe with a great end. We'll be making more of these cookies for our Christmas cookie swap. For some people that thought they were gross, you'll need to add LOTS of sugar to your cinnamon and sugar mix for rolling. If not, the cinnamon overpowers the cookie and they don't taste the greatest. five stars

Folks - if the April of Ontarios's family hated them that much - it can safely be assumed that Tablespoons not teaspoons of Cream of Tartar & Baking Soda were used.
Many people (even good bakers) often misread a recipe (when in a rush) or get them mixed up. five stars
