Here we are, the 2nd day of December which means day 2 of Christmas Cookies! I had a SUPER busy day today! Luckily I made my cookie dough ahead, as I often do so that I can get right to baking when I want or need to! Today we were at my husbands Command, creating a “Christmas Card”. Really, it is a HUGE piece of wood that all different commands create a holiday greeting on. They are put in a special area on base, lit up at night time for all to see & enjoy. The tree lighting ceremony is next Friday!
Today’s cookie is Snickerdoodles. Who does not like a Snickerdoodle?? Well, honestly…me! I am just not a fan of them but they are one cookie that is requested of me to make by people in my husbands command no matter where we are! So, to make them all happy I’ve included it in my 25 days of Christmas cookies!
I will say, they are SO simple to make and anything that has or uses cinnamon/sugar together at least smells amazing while baking. And, they are a crowed pleaser! Whenever I hear someone mention Snickerdoodles I instantly hear lot’s of “MMMmmmm’s” and well, I kind of roll my eyes a little! Sorry.
