    Thanks for sharing that recipe. It's not often a bakery shares it's secrets.

    I'm not familiar with snickerdoodles. Is it basically a sugar cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar?

    You're right on M. Snicker doodles are basically a drop sugar cookie rolled in cinnamon/sugar and baked. They are generally soft and slightly chewy and are best if not over baked. Its distinct flavor comes from the cream of tartar. If you have never had them then this is a great recipe to try them out on. It is so simple and very tasty!
