The BEST Snickerdoodles

It’s still a little crazy around here.

Between T-ball, Preschool graduation, the end of Toddler Group, and our local small-town festival, we’ve been running around like nobody’s business.

When you have busy times like these, it’s so nice to have an easy, go-to cookie that everyone loves.

And these snickerdoodles fit the bill.

(Don’t’cha just love the word snickerdoodle?  It just makes me smile to say it.)

The Recipe:

The Results:

See, this was a cheater recipe.  I already knew it was absolutely perfect as is.  (Hubs makes it every couple of months, and we all just gobble them down.)  This is one of those recipes that floats around our house on random sheets of paper that get lost and rewritten and lost and rewritten, etc.  So I figured if I put it out there on the internet, we’d always know where to find it.  🙂

If you like the distinct taste of a snickerdoodle, than these will be perfect for you.  They are barely firm on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside.  (And they will disappear from your counter faster than you can imagine – or maybe that’s just at our house.)

We think they are the perfect complement to a cup of coffee in the morning, as well as an after dinner snack.  You really can’t go wrong eating them any time of day.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
