Well, these are pretty yum…
Snickerdoodles!
I’ll be straight and to the point.
More please!
I was so deprived of these gorgeous little cookies when I was growing up, I don’t think that I even had a Snickerdoodle until in my 20 something stage of life. I know, very sad indeed. Not to worry though, I’ve made up for it (oh deary me, lol).
Due to my deprivation of Snickerdoodles as a child, I’ve decided that my children shall never be kept from them! So I made a massive batch of the cookies, and lovingly poured a glass of milk, placed the Snickerdoodles on a plate and put it in front of their bright eyed faces and cherished every moment with them. They gave the nod of acceptance and even asked for another, so this recipe is most definitely child approved!
I have to laugh at myself sometimes when I have these little momentous scenarios all built up in my head of how they should play out, then when I actually do go through all the hoopla of being a mommy and oh how wonderful it’s going to be … I just get a nod …. brings a bit of balance into my life, lol. I love their gestures and responses! So regardless of how deflated I might feel about the lack of enthusiasm they show by not screaming for joy over a cookie, if they nod in approval, it is all worth it at the end of the day and I know I’ve done well.
Love cookies with a wee bit of butter (that means one loaded cup of butter)? Oh man, these are seriously good and make MOUNDS of them. They are soft and chewy and oh do they every have just the right amount of cinnamon.
Think cold day, cozy fire and Snickerdoodles!!!
