Snickerdoodles

What’s better than the smells of a fresh, warm baking cookie wafting through the house? Not much, that’s for sure! These delectable little morsels are guaranteed to disappear almost as fast as you can get them out of the oven.If you want to go for traditional, do the recipe as it is listed below. If you want to spice things up a bit (literally), swap out the cinnamon with nutmeg and cloves! 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp cloves, 2 tbsp sugar.. roll the cookies in THAT before baking. Crazy tasty!
