The best snicker-doodles

May your joys always be greater than your sorrows.

Baby Annabelle at Christmas.

Baking cookies with Kiki is always a good time according to Annabelle. She really wanted me to share this recipe with you. It's not your typical snickerdoodle, but the best snicker-doodles. That's the way it goes around here.  It's not like you need another cookie recipe, but this is what happens when I clean out the cabinets of two half empty jars of peanut butter and a freezer full of snicker bars that were leftover from Halloween. She thinks it is a great cookie for a holiday exchange. Get it? She is so smart already. Merry Christmas!
