Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). Mix cake mix, butter and egg in large bowl with spoon until dough forms (some dry mix will remain). TIP: be sure to add butter a little at a time so dough doesn't get too sticky to handle.
- 2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Mix sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. TIP: for Super Snickerdoodles, shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet; bake 12 to 14 minutes. You'll get about 26 large cookies (regular size yields about 30, even smaller you get about 36).
- 3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks. TIP: also, French vanilla cake mix is a great stand-in for the white cake mix.

WIKI..The Joy of Cooking claims that snickerdoodles are probably German in origin, and that the name is a corruption of the German word Schneckennudeln (lit. "snail noodles")[3], a kind of pastry. A different author suggests that the word "snicker" comes from the Dutch word snekrad, or the German word Schnecke, which both describe a snail shape.[4] Yet another hypothesis suggests that the name has no particular meaning or purpose [5] and is simply a whimsically named cookie that originated from a New England tradition of fanciful cookie names

PAN-BANGING PECAN SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES
We packed these cookies with cinnamon, pecans and chocolate toffee chunks for the ultimate snickerdoodle experience--and then added one finishing touch. Inspired by blogger Sarah Kieffer's internet-famous crinkled chocolate chip cookies, we pulled the snickerdoodles out of the oven midway through cooking and banged the baking sheet on the counter, producing a cookie with the best of both worlds--crispy ripples around the edge and a soft, chewy center.

Steps:
- Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with foil.
- Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Beat on low until just combined. Add the chopped chocolate toffee bars and pecans and stir to combine.
- Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop leveled mounds of cookie dough evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets. Roll each mound into a ball. Transfer 1 baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer the frozen baking sheet to the oven (meanwhile, transfer the second baking sheet to the freezer) and bake until the edges have melted and the center is still domed, about 10 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and bang it firmly on a work surface until a small ripple forms around the outer edge. Return it to the oven and bake until the center puffs up, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and bang it again firmly on a work surface until the edges are rippled and golden brown and the center is soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining baking sheets, freezing the third baking sheet for 20 minutes while the second baking sheet is in the oven.

SPICY SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES
I don't think this is like most other Snickerdoodle recipes - in fact, I'd say they're more of a molasses or spice cookie. Either way, they are really good, and really chewy for those who like that kind of cookie. The cornmeal gives them a really interesting texture that I like a lot. The recipe says it makes 70 cookies, but either I made them too big or I ate more dough than I thought because I only got 56! This is from a 2003 Woman's Day magazine.

Steps:
- Mix the Cream Cheese Filling, and set in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Heat oven to 400.
- Mix 1 1/2 cups sugar, the butter, and eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set to the side.
- Mix the 1/4 cup and 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small bowl. Set to the side.
- Shape dough into two (2") balls. Flatten each one.
- Apply your filling to one flattened ball spooning 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the cookie, or pipe the filling on, using a Zip lock bag with the tip cut.
- Take the other flattened ball and "sandwich" the two with the filling in the middle.
- Pinch the edges together (like a ravioli) then gently and slowly roll the ball between your palms until it is smooth and round. The dough will be fragile and will probably crack open every now and then. Just take a pinch a of dough and apply it over the crack like a band aid. (You will need to wash off your hands between each cookie, or the dough will start to stick to your hands.).
- Roll the ball into the cinnamon and sugar mixture, then place on a freezer safe plate.
- Continue making the cookies until your plate is full.
- Place the plate in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer, and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, about 2" apart.
- Bake 8-10 minutes, or until set.
- Remove from cookie sheet, and cool on wire rack.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
- Beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition just until combined. Beat in the vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour and the pecans. Cover and chill about 1 hour or until the dough is easy to handle.
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll the balls in the sugar mixture to coat. Arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten the dough balls slightly.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are very light brown. Let cool on the cookie sheets for 2 minutes. Slide the parchment paper with baked cookies on it to wire racks and let cool completely. Once cooled, slide the parchment paper onto a work surface.
- Spread Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting onto the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, flat-sides down.

Steps:
- Cream the first four ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, soda, and salt.
- Add to creamed mixture.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- Shape dough into balls and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and cream of tartar.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking snickerdoodles is 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overbake the cookies. The cookies should be baked until they are just set around the edges and still soft in the center.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Snickerdoodles are a classic cookie that is easy to make and always a hit. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and cinnamon-sugar coating, they are sure to be a favorite of everyone who tries them.
