Christmas Snickerdoodles

I love snickerdoodles and I grew up making them with my Nana’s recipe. She liked to put her own spin on recipes. I have not seen another recipe for snickerdoodles that is like this. 

The cookies are so soft and flavorful. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I know it would make my Nana happy to see others making them as well.
