Snickerdoodles!

Hi Everyone! I am so happy to share this awesome recipe with you! AS you know, I live in small town America, and one of the really great things about that is all of the great recipes that are shared with me! I found this wonderful cookbook from the Danforth Illinois Reformed Church. Let me tell you, these Church Ladies know how to cook! As a matter of fact, when I was trying to figure out if I was going to purchase it, I was flipping threw the pages and found a recipe that my Grandma used to make when I was a little one! It's called Porcupines, and I think that is the next video that I am going to make.

Well, I felt like baking cookies today and I am going to be sending out these little morsels of love to my Great Nieces and Great Nephews! I am going to be making some cards in my next Blog, but I wanted to share this video and the Recipe with everyone.

I would like to thank Judy Manssen Rubin for this Recipe! The cookies are tender and delicious!
