Snickerdoodles are the perfect cookie for the holiday season. The smell of cinnamon in the air, that slight crunch of the sugar coating and the puffy goodness that is the signature of this favorite. They are so chewy and delicious it may be hard to share but I have faith in you.
These pillows of cinnamon sugar goodness take you right back to childhood. They are like a hug from the inside with each bite and make your house smell amazing so it’s like bonus aromatherapy. The video shows you how to bring it all together and what the recipe should look like in different stages.
