snickerdoodles

I admit it...I've been a sugar nut!  What is it about the last few weeks of winter that makes us want to stuff our faces with as much junk food as possible?  Meanwhile, we tell ourselves that we're going to give it all up cold turkey when spring hits...HA!

Well, in the spirit of the annual sugar binge, I'm going to post one of my favorite (and most famous) cookie recipes.  These are seriously the. best. snicker. doodle. cookies. ever.

I mean it.
