Snickerdoodle Cookies

I love making Cookies...
There are so many varieties you can make.
Drop, rolled, shaped, bars....so no
matter what you are in the mood for
there is ALWAYS a perfect cookie calling your name.
I think Snickerdoodles can "fit the bill" for 
a number of taste buds. They are light, simple, not
to sweet. You can make them crisp or chewy.
Y'all see what I mean? What's NOT to like?
