Snickerdoodle!, Member gingerbread_girl

When I was little, my siblings and I would go to the bakery in our market and get a cookie. I always got snickerdoodle, and loved them soo much! We moved out of state years ago, so I haven't had a snickerdoodle in forever. This recipe is amazing! It brought back so many great memories :-)
