Categories Dessert, Easy Recipes

Snickerdoodles are a favorite around my house. My husband always says “did you know I love snickerdoodles” every time I make them. I imagine he’ll say the same thing every time he eats one for the rest of his life. These snickerdoodles are chewy, buttery, cinnamony and delicious!

These snickerdoodles are sure to please any cinnamon sugar lover and are perfect for potlucks, parties, family get together’s or after school snacks. You can even freeze the dough balls for a easy cookie treat whenever you want to bake them.
