Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe!

Snickerdoodles!  They’re just a great, traditional cookie, ya know?  But I often think of them as being store-bought, never made at home.  But it doesn’t need to be that way.  It’s an easy cookie to make – a simple dough, chilled for a bit, then rolled in a cinnamon/sugar mixture.  And, yet, I’ve only made them a handful of times myself.  Craziness. 

It’s like every time I flip through my recipe book, I stop at “Chocolate Chip” and quit turning pages.  But lately, I’ve kept turning pages and landed a few times on this recipe.  They’re just fun!  Kids love them.  Adults love them.  And because they aren’t chocolate chip cookies, they’re just a little bit different.  Just enough to make them feel really fun and unique!

My husband is a big cinnamon fan, so these are up his alley.  But he took a batch to work and they were gone super quick!  Which tells you that they’re attractive to lots of people too.  So next time you’re searching for a cookie recipe, give this one a try!
