SOFT & CHEWY SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

I love cookies.  I really do.  But with this love comes high standards. I don’t want to eat just any old cookie.  Let’s be honest… any old cookie is just not worth the calories.  BUT when a cookie is perfect, there is not much better in life to me.

So what makes a cookie meet this so-called perfect standard?

It needs to be SOFT.

It needs to be CHEWY.

I know there are crispy kind of cookie people out there, but I am not one of them.  To me the bigger, thicker, and softer that cookie is, the better! These chewy snickerdoodle cookies are all of the above.  As a matter of fact, they are so delicious that they can make me forget that they don’t even have chocolate in them, which is usually a dessert requirement for me. Because who needs chocolate when you have soft, thick, chewy cinnamonny, perfection calling your name!  Grab a glass of milk and let’s get started.
