Christmas Snickerdoodles Cookie Recipe

Christmas Snickerdoodles Cookie Recipe

For as long as I have known my husband, his absolute favorite cookie has been the Snickerdoodle cookie. He really loves Snickerdoodles! He would buy them and hoard them not wanting to share with anyone. However, every time he has had Snickerdoodles, we have purchased them. I am not sure why because both of love baking but we have never tried to make them on our own. As part of the 4th Annual Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, we decided that we could make an amazing Snickerdoodle cookie all on our own this year. This simple to make yet rich in flavor cookie was a hit in our house and I hope that the several dozen that we sent out were a hit as well! We hope that you love this Christmas Snickerdoodles Cookie Recipe.
