Have already baked 2 batches,i used a recipe v similiar to urs (http://vanillastrawberryspringfields.blogspot.com/2009/11/gratefull-heart-2009.html)but i love the addition of powdered sugar here,gives a nice crunch right?
and urs look lovely surely-we rolled a few in vanilla sugar & few in cinnamon sprinkled & few in cinnamon.

Snickerdoodles are great! I make a variation on them where I add brandy and rum extracts and a touch of nutmeg to the cinnamon and sugar that I roll them in..I call them eggnog snickerdoodles.
ReplyDeleteThese were my sisters favorites growing up..think I might have to make some for her for Christmas!! Thanks for the recipe!
