Thank You SO MUCH for this Comparison! I don’t like wasting experience ingredients and Time with experimenting. BRILLIANT WORK! Much appreciated.
Great editing too.

Thanks for the video!
I always dip the cookies in water before rolling in cinnamon sugar mix. Gives them a crunchy outside and yields a nice chew for the inside. Get a separate bowl of water for dipping. It's messier. But worth it ;)

I just made the Bon Appetit cookies for my two grandsons to celebrate their basketball achievements. They are absolutely delicious! I did not have vanilla paste, so I substituted my homemade vanilla extract. They were perfectly baked in 8 minutes--crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I love how Rachel described each cookie! I would love to hear her reviews on everything!!!!

After trying many other recipes, I like the joyofbaking snickerdoodle recipe the best. Dough is perfect to work without refrigerating or waiting to put into the oven. Perfect texture inside and out. Weigh each ball at 40 gms. My absolute favorite but will try each of the recipes from this youtube presentation to see if I like one of them better. Excellent youtube presentation. Thank you

I'll watch 1hr ad if that means great YouTubers like you are going to finally get what they deserve. Recently discovered your channel and I'm seriously addicted. Keep up with good work and you'll shine soon💕💕

I'll have to give the melted butter in snickerdoodles a try next time, to get that denser chewier texture. The food network one is cakey because of the air whipped into the butter in the first step, which is what I did last time I made this cookie, and in my opinion, even more work than just using melted butter!

Good review. Saved me time to know which recipe to follow. Very helpful adding the links in the description box.

[leefukunay]

Next time I make the bon appetit version I'm just going to come to this video you're so much better at explaining the steps than the actual recipe page

[riekodi]

Thanks so much, Rachel for sharing your extensive research results with us. Can hardly wait to make ‘em. I will report back. God bless you!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[michaelmcmillon]

Seems people on food network can’t really cook, how do you not use vanilla or brown sugar 🤦🏽‍♂️.

[renorebe.]

Americas test kitchen has the best that I’ve tried. My Granny used to say that if it has vanilla extract, it ain’t a Snickerdoodle. 😋

[lizzy]

This was the best comparison video!! You have a natural talent for it. Thanks so much it helped me make the BEST cookies. I decided to go with the Bon Appetit recipe!😊❤️

[paolanguyen]

So glad I saw this before making the food network cookie!!!

[jansticka]

The Tasty recipe for the win. By far the best cookie. Thanks for your comparison video.

[jennchi]

Is that the Rick Martinez bon appetit recipe? It sounds like the one. I tried loads of snickerdoodle recipes trying to find perfection. I found Rick's recipe about five years ago and ended my search. It's a fantastic recipe.

[ppdack]

My favorite cookie! I’ve never tried vanilla bean paste but now I have to. BA doesn’t miss!

[elsycastillo]

I am so happy you made this review!! Really needed it thank youuu
