Snickerdoodles are a classic American cookie that’s been around for centuries. They’re made with creamy butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour – all the good stuff! These cookies are rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking, which gives them a delicious crunch on the outside while keeping the inside soft and chewy. Plus, they have a warm, cozy flavor that’s perfect for any occasion.
