SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

I will be honest…I haven’t made a snicker doodle cookie since 2013. Why? I’m a chocolate chip cookie kind of gal and for some reason I haven’t been able to steer away from my bakery style chocolate chip cookies. I make them all.the.time because I LOVE them.

That’s not fair though…all cookies should have an equal opportunity to shine, right?

Right! Snicker Doodle Cookies have a lot to shine about. First, they’re a classic…they’ve have been around for a while and are popular. They’re chewy, comforting, and slightly sweet with that wonderful essence of cinnamon. Cinnamon is just so comforting…in any recipe. It adds flavor but it also adds an aroma that is not like anything else.

I wish my house always smelled like a snickerdoodle…someone needs to make a candle..wouldn’t that be amazing?

Yes, yes it would.
