  Laura, there is no substitute for cream of tater, none whatsoever. I see you live in Las Vegas. There are tons of stores that carry cream of tarter in the baking section, its with the spices (cinnamon, salt, pepper, herbs). I know the big chains like Wal-Mart sell it.

In the pictures, the cinnamon on your snickerdoodles looks so brown and rich, but in the past when I’ve made snickerdoodles, the cinnamon looks more black and is more evenly mixed with the sugar–do you have any suggestions on how I can make my cookies look more like the ones in the pictures?

I read that baking powder can substitute the baking soda and cream of tartar. However, the amounts for each substitution are conflicting. Do you have an idea how much baking powder I should substitute for the soda & tartar? I would rather not add another ingredient to my storage.

These really are amazing. My husband said they are possibly the best he’s ever had. This is the last snickerdoodle recipe I’ll ever need! Thank you.
