Snickerdoodles

A deliciously simple to make cookie with a hint of cinnamon that you will surely love!
When I hear the name of this cookie I giggle a bit. Not sure where the name came from and there seems to be a few theories floating around the internet. But whatever the answer, these cookies are amazing! And so simple to make too!
A good friend of my husband’s was over one night and I thought I’d try making Snickerdoodles for them (you see, any time someone is over, I take full advantage and make them my tasters haha)! So tried I did, and I got two thumbs up!
What a relief. I always seem to experiment with new recipes when I’m expecting company. Why the added and certainly un-needed stress I’ll never understand about myself. But hey it seems to work… most times :)
These delicious cookies are special in that they’re rolled in a mix of sugar and cinnamon. Yum! When they’re baking in the oven, the sugar hardens and offers that crunchy texture before you bite into the soft core!
Give this recipe a try because you and whoever else lays a hand on them will love these Vegan Snickerdoodles!
