I generally consider to the snickerdoodle to be my very best cookie (I don't know why, but I just always seem to have good results with them.) I was a little worried that I would be unable to bake this cookie since I have been unable to locate cream of tartar anywhere on my island. However, with a little help from Google, I was actually able to find an excellent cookie recipe that used baking powder instead! Although the cookies are a little flatter than those that I made in the States, the taste is very similiar. However, the thing that was perhaps most impressive with baking these cookies was the delicious smell that filled my apartment. At one point after completing the cookies I took the trash out; when I returned, I was simply overwhelmed by the wonderful cinnamon and sugar smell.
