Is there a cookie with a better name than the snickerdoodle? I don’t think so, just saying the name will bring a smile to your face.
The cookies themselves will turn that smile into a cheesy grin. There is something so satisfying about this cookie. It’s soft, pretty (obviously important) and the cinnamon-sugar mix the dough is rolled in before it bakes takes it to a whole other level.
These cinnamon-sugar pillows are so easy to make and chances are you’ll already have all of the necessary ingredients in your kitchen.
I like to make things easy for you.
Snickerdoodles are a popular cookie in my house. I made these on Monday and sent some up to my sister as she prepares for her finals next week.
Bet you didn’t know snickerdoodles are brain food too, did ya? 🙂
