After getting to try one... ok maybe two I've got to say that these could be the best Snickerdoodle cookies EVER!
***These would make great budget friendly Christmas gifts for Neighbors and friends! Just find some inexpensive Christmas tins and wrap the cookies in festive tissue paper. You could even have your kids make a cute Handmade Christmas card to tie over the top with ribbons!
