It doesn't get much better than a warm snickerdoodle right out of the oven. I was first introduced to snickerdoodles when I started dating Aaron. His mom makes the best snickerdoodles...I had always heard of the cookie and of course thought they involved a Snicker's candybar somehow. Then I had the pleasure of enjoying this sweet delight...the crispy edges and chewy centers are the perfect combination!
