A classic cookie recipe that every sweet tooth should try- cinnamon-sugar covered Snickerdoodles!
I know my Tuesday treats has been a little heavy on the cookie recipes recently, but I couldn’t stop myself from posting this recipe today! I guess I just had to stick with the cookie trend to close out the last Tuesday Treats of 2014 🙂
Snickerdoodles are a classic cookie which I think can be enjoyed any time of year. These soft cookies have a slight tang and chewiness, courtesy of the cream of tartar which are essential to a good Snickerdoodle- so make sure you don’t skip it. The recipe below makes two dozen cookies.
Hopefully you’ve been liking the cookie recipes I’ve been posting, but tell me what other types of treats would you like to see posted on Tuesdays? I’d love to hear your ideas!
