GRAMMY’S SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES! Is there anything more heavenly smelling in your kitchen than warm, cinnamony snickerdoodles?!! Yum! I have made these for years, starting with my kids many years ago, and now for my grand kiddos, too! No matter how young or old, these are always a favorite! Maybe it’s the butter…..maybe it’s the cinnamon…..a better combination there isn’t, in any case! 🙂 haha These delectable goodies are luscious with a warm cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk, a mid-morning treat, or an after-school snack! When I was first married over 40 years ago, I received a Better Homes and Garden cookbook as a gift. That cookbook was my savings grace as a young wife and these cookies quickly became one of our favorites! This is evidenced by the splattered batter on the page of this recipe and the dog-eared corner, for sure! 🙂 haha. I have included the BHG recipe down below and hope that you enjoy GRAMMY’S SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES as much as we do! ENJOY! 🙂
