Have you eaten any snickerdoodles lately? I know…….We haven’t either. They are kind of a throw back cookie that you just don’t hear about that often. I baked up two batches of snickerdoodles this week, and we thought you might like the recipe we always use. We got it from here. Snickerdoodles are great because they have a nice cozy autumn taste from the cinnamon, but yet they are a great Christmas cookie, too. They freeze really well, and you can go from flour to finished cookies in under an hour.

Thx for this recipe! Brings back so many good memories of my mother and grandmother!
Have fun at your mother’s 90th! We’re off to Ohio for the day tomorrow to help Aunt Jane (Mother’s older sister) celebrate 100 years! Aren’t all of us lucky?!!
PS Glad to say that I’ve carried on the tradition with my kids and grands!!
I haven’t made Snickerdoodle’s since Jr. High. My recipe was one I copied from my Katie Keene comic books– they were “Sis’s” favorite cookies. Do you remember Katie Keene, fashion designer?
Give your mother’s my best birthday wishes from me.
Snickerdoodles have always been one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Cookies are one of life’s greatest little pleasures, aren’t they?
