These Snickerdoodles were no exception, in fact, they may be better than some scratch recipes I've tried. The original recipe calls for a white cake mix. I used a yellow cake mix, the only difference I think is the color. If you're looking for a quick cookie recipe or one to make with the kids or grandkids, give this one a try!
