Old Fashioned Snickerdoodle Cookies
Old Fashioned Snickerdoodle Cookies
This cookie is one I used to have as a child, and somewhere in my life I forgot about them. Then a few years ago my daughter asked my husband what one of his favorite cookies was- and this is one that he mentioned to her; so we made them. Then this past weekend we were talking about cookies and my daughter mentioned these cookies again; and her boyfriend said “those are one of my favorites”—so she made them! They turned out better than I remember; and we sent some home with him, which he seemed happy about.
