Well,...
actually, ...
There the only ones I've ever made.
Darling Daughter gives Them a Thumbs up!
I almost past on this months Cookie Carnival partly because I didn't think we were a snickerdoodle family and because Kellie (above, how cute is she?) is going on a camping trip and she wanted to take homemade Biscotti. We are definitely a Biscotti kind of family. So Biscotti it was.
WAS.
Until I showed her a picture of April's snickerdoodles. All of a sudden, before my eye's, we became a snickerdoodle family.
These cookies were so soft and chewy. I'm eating one right now for breakfast research. When I asked the hubby for his opinion, he said "Mmmm, there so chewy and, and, Mmmmm!"
That's a thumbs up!
Who knew we were snickerdoodlers? They're so soft and chewy.
" To go"
We have them all packed to go camping, but they still have to make it through one more day.
Will they make it to the camping trip?
Did I tell you how soft and chewy they are?
