Snickerdoodles

I admit it, I have never had a Snickerdoodle, until today, that is. Emma and I made 4 dozen after school today. I LOVE cinnamon, so these cookies are fabulous. I used the recipe from Food.com. This recipe would also make a killer sugar cookie, omitting the cinnamon, of course. ☺  I added an extra 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon. These cookies were unbelievably good. I have braces and can't eat crunchy cookies without dunking them in milk first. I don't always like to do that. These cookies stayed soft until the last one was gone. I will definitely make these again. Em and I even came up with our own cake recipe. Be on the look out for that in a couple of weeks.
