The perfect Snickerdoodle. Crisp edge chewy middle and delicious flavor. These wonderful cinnamon sugar cookies became very popular with my friends at church. My pastor loves them! You will too! Crispy edges, and chewy centers, these cookies are a crowd pleaser for sure! Love these cookies and they always turn out great. However double your batch as they won’t last long! We have a family friend that owns a cafe and he raved over this recipe too 🙂
