Snickerdoodles
This is a short post this week.
Why? Because I am too busy eating these snickerdoodles.
You should be, too. Really. Go make these now. They’re a delicious butter cookie wrapped in warm cinnamon and sugar. What more could you want? Enjoy!
Note: I highly recommend getting the butter-flavored shortening, it enhances the cookie’s flavor. These cookies are the perfect balance of crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Plus, they freeze very well!

They are such tasty cookies, but I feel like they are often forgotten. Everyone remembers chocolate chip, peanut butter and oatmeal cookies, but poor snickerdoodles are overlooked. Not today! 🙂
