Family Christmas Cookie 2: Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles were a recipe in the first edition of my husband’s family cookbook, and a favorite at many of my own family gatherings. These were some of the first I cookies I baked and distributed at PAX as a member of the Cookie Brigade, and not only did they sell out faster than my monster cookies, but they were MUCH better received than the carob vegan cookies I made that year. Go figure. 🙂
