Soft Snickerdoodles

By far my favorite cookies are snickerdoodles.  I have never tried a snickerdoodle I didn't like.  I did however, find a recipe that surpasses all others.  These cookies are so easy to make and they always come out of the oven looking great! The cookies look great on a fun plate or platter or tied in a small treat bag. They are also great to bake for your home teachers! :)
