Snickerdoodles

We’re talking about Snickerdoodles. A classic on every Christmas cookie plate across the United States, and one of Santa’s personal favorites. I know this statistical information because well, every year Santa seems to eat them all, and never drops a crumb. The Snickerdoodle is like a sugar cookie with a bit of an edge and who doesn’t love a soft, pillow-like cookie topped with cinnamon sugar goodness? I know I do, and as always time is of the essence for me so a Snickerdoodle recipe made in under twenty-five minutes is definitely at the top of my recipe box.

More often than not you’ll get a flat, lifeless Snickerdoodle with hard sugar on the outside. I don’t know about you but this doesn’t sound appealing at all. Not only that, there is so much work involved, between chilling the dough, and a list of crazy ingredients you’ll have to go to the store for. Not here. Just pure, classic pillowy goodness. Now that’s why this cookie is always on Santa’s good list!
