Delicious Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite types of cookies. They are coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture, making them different from standard sugar cookies. They generally look different than sugar cookies too because they begin to crack while they bake.
This is the recipe my mother used when I was young and I have never found a snickerdoodle recipe that tops the flavor this recipe creates.
If you want a recipe for mouthwatering snickerdoodle cookies, then this is the one for you!
