I know I mentioned snickerdoodles in a post several years ago, but let me just retell the story: The church congregation we attended when we lived in Germany asked me to bring "something American" for a party. Even though I know it wasn't our Christmas party, somehow snickerdoodles became a Christmas cookie for our family thereafter. As a result, this year when we finally got around to giving plates of cookies to friends, snickerdoodles were on the plate.
I have tinkered with many recipes since we lived in Germany, but I think I finally found our favorite with this one. Soft and chewy, with the right proportions of cinnamon and sugar, I'll be using this recipe from now on.
