Easy Snickerdoodles

January 22, 2013 by Mom on the Make 2 Comments

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……

    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.
