Yes, it’s true…I am a cinnamon addict! So, naturally, snickerdoodles are my absolute favorites cookies! The chewy goodness that is a snickerdoodle cookie made that happen. This recipe, in particular, is one that I have been making for years & years. It is super simple and the cookies always taste good even if mistakes are made during the baking process. Add too much sugar? Not enough flour? Forget the vanilla? No problem! They will still taste good! This is a very forgiving recipe and the dough is absolute heaven! Snickerdoodles are always a hit at family gatherings!
As an epileptic, I cannot eat chocolate due to the natural caffeine in cacao. It interacts very poorly with my anti-epileptic drugs, as well, so I have two very good reasons to avoid chocolate completely. This might seem like a tragedy to the chocolate-addicts out there, however, these cookies fill that void very successfully!
Cinnamon and Sugar are a magical combo! Check it out for yourself and try the recipe below!
Bon Appetit!!
