Variations on Snickerdoodles

Variations on Snickerdoodles


Snickerdoodles are a classic, but suprisingly this is the first time I've ever made them, and they turned out fantastic! I would make them again and  agian! You can try one or all of the recipes and then decide which one is your favorite! Personally, I love the traditional and peanut butter, but I've never loved chocolate cookies to start with.
