The Best Snickerdoodles!

Hello bloggers! After a little bit of a hiatus, I’m back! In these past few months I have done a lot of baking…a lot of cooking…and a lot of eating! It was a glorious holiday season!

So I think I have conquered my fear of baking thanks to these cookies! I can’t recall how many batches I made these past few months, but it was a lot! I really love SNICKERDOODLES and I have tried several recipes over the years. Some were terrible, some were pretty good, but this one is my favorite (Source)!

The cookies are soft and chewy and not made with lard! I highly recommend you give these a try!

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 3/4 cups flour

Meanwhile, mix 3 tablespoons sugar, and 3 teaspoons cinnamon in a small bowl.
Scoop 1 inch globs of dough into the sugar/ cinnamon mixture.
