I love snickerdoodles.
And, I really enjoy it when I find a version of snickerdoodles that is just a little better than the last recipe I was using.
Tonight, Bam Bam really wanted homemade cookies, and the only cookie I could make with our ingredients on hand was snickerdoodles.
LOVE snickerdoodle dough……
And I really love rolling the dough in cinnamon and sugar……
Walnut size dough balls all ready to go in the oven…..
Out of the oven and cooling……
Bowl full of goodness…….
Here’s the recipe…..

Oh dear … I should really abstain from reading your recipes while I’m on my 3-week Daniel fast (vegetables and fruit and nuts and grains only). The 3 weeks is up this Sunday, and I think I’ll make snickerdoodles to celebrate !
Although I also want to try your Andes Mint recipe soon too ! Maybe it will be a time for making both ! 
Do you know, I have never heard of Snickerdoodles and certainly haven’t eaten one! Thanks for sharing this with me. Have a great week.
