Tried this snickerdoodle recipe and I have to say, it was pretty terrible. I followed the instructions completely and I normally have no problem cooking from recipes but these turned out like little dense cakes instead of cookies and they were barely sweet at all! I thought the baking soda/cream of tartar was a bit much for a cookie recipe but I gave it a shot. Very disappointed.
