snickerdoodles

I have fond memories of my Mom making snickerdoodles during the holiday season when I was a little kid. We would always leave out cookies for Santa and these were a great alternative to sugar cookies (as kids we would take hours to decorate just a few cookies). Santa (aka my dad) would eat all the cookies, drink the milk, give the carrots to the reindeer (usually leaving a few stubs or greens) and leave soot footprints on his way to the tree. These cookies bring me back to being 8 years old and not being able to sleep on Christmas eve because of all the excitement.

These are a fluffier variation of a snickerdoodle and are perfect for dipping into hot chocolate or egg nog. Tai and I ate most of these. I meant to bring them into work, but they were just way too good and we lack self control.
