I took today off, but Malia was kind enough to send in her recipe and instructions for snickerdoodles; just the name makes me grin. Malia is currently on break from her blog Live.Laugh.Love, but she can be found at Music City Bloggers where she is a contributing author.
Snickerdoodles
While the origins of the cookie and its name have a varied history this cookie, no matter what you call it, is a quintessential crowd pleaser. The dough can be refrigerated for a day or two as a make ahead recipe and these cookies freeze well. Make some now and save them for holiday parties/consumption.
