...& everything nice


Snickerdoodles are simple, familiar and an all around crowd-pleaser of a cookie.  The cinnamon sugar coating is something everyone can appreciate and the soft, chewy nature of it is enough to please even the toughest critic.

Start by creaming the butter and sugar together.  Beat in eggs and vanilla followed by a gradual addition of the combined dry ingredients.  Voila! Snickerdoodle dough!

I chose to chill mine in the fridge for about 15 minutes so it would firm up a bit. Afterwards I formed the dough into balls and rolled them into a cinnamon sugar mixture before using the heel of my hand to flatten them a bit. Bake between 375°- 400° (depending on your oven...be very careful not to overcook!) for 7-8 minutes.

The cookies will be just barely set, but don't worry, they'll harden slightly as they cool.

Eat up!
