They ranked up there with some of my favorites.  My favorites as a little girl were thumbprint cookies, spritz cookies, snowballs (Russian Teacakes), chocolate chip cookies, gingersnaps and snickerdoodles.  I love to say &#8220;Snickerdoodle&#8221;.  Believe it or not, in my almost 3 years of being on the gluten-free diet, I have never made Snickerdoodles.  If nothing else, I would have thought I would have made them just so I could say the word. \ud83d\ude09  I have been pleasantly surprised at how good the cookies have turned out when converted to be gluten-free.  I can&#8217;t really think of one time that I was disappointed.  Oh, wait, only once.  I used a flour mix that I was not happy with.  I now stick with my GF Mix of rice flour, potato starch and tapioca flour and add xanthan gum, usually close to a teaspoon per cup of flour.  I don&#8217;t usually add partial teaspoons though, so if a recipe calls for 2 3\/4 cups flour, I will use 2 tsp xanthan gum.  Hope that makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Onto the good stuff!  Here is my recipe and some pictures of the yummy goodness:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3053\/2968153952_e414a28d34.jpg?v=0\" width=\"500\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3066\/2967307687_a1b0d0c790.jpg?v=0\" width=\"500\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Snickerdoodles<\/strong>**Modified from a recipe in Betty Crocker&#8217;s Cookbook<\/p>\n<p>\u00bd cup butter, softened<br \/>\n\u00bd cup shortening<br \/>\n1 \u00bd cups sugar<br \/>\n2 eggs<br \/>\n2 \u00be cups GF Flour Mix (I used rice, potato starch &amp; tapioca)<br \/>\n2 tsps.
