PERFECT SNICKERDOODLES
Snickerdoodles cookies will melt in your mouth! The sugar and cinnamon make these snickerdoodles so tasty. A great holiday cookie for a gift or just anytime. Your friends and family will love these cookies and keep coming back for more. I don’t just make snickerdoodles at Christmas but often. My family loves them. We like anything with cinnamon. These cookies are great with coffee or milk. Children and grandchildren love helping make cookies and this is a good cookie to let them help you roll into balls and dip in the sugar mixture. Store these in an airtight container and they will last for days. This would be an easy cookie to freeze as well.
Snickerdoodles make a great food gift.
