Perfect Snickerdoodles

I know, I know.  Everybody has a recipe for Snickerdoodles and everybody thinks that their recipe is perfect.  My old favorite recipe for Snickerdoodles did not have cream of tartar, and you wouldn’t believe all the haters who sent me messages to let me know that my snickerdoodle was not really a snickerdoodle because it… Continue reading Perfect Snickerdoodles
