The Best Snickerdoodles

 *Sorry I haven't posted anything in ages! Craig and I just got back to Colorado after spending a week back east visiting family and friends. I was actually out there for two weeks since I had back to back clients. It was wonderful to see everyone, but now we are exhausted! We're looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend at home! I started writing this post before I left for my work trips, but never finished it...so here it is:

A few weeks ago while I was working from home, I had a huge craving for cookies. I really wanted something homemade, but I knew I didn't have any chocolate chips....so what kind of cookie could I bake with the ingredients in my kitchen. The winner was Snickerdoodles!

I did some Googling and came across a recipe that was seemed easy. Since moving to Colorado Springs, I've been apprehensive about baking because the altitude messes with it, but I came across a newspaper article that had all the adjustments for certain ingredients. Making the appropriate adjustments worked wonders! The cookies came out soft and tasted really good!

2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Fresh out of the oven....need to remember to roll the dough a little better for a more even distribution of cinnamon/sugar :)

Cooling....can't wait to eat them!

The cookies were so good! I brought some to a picnic we had with friends and they were a big hit! I'm glad they were easy to make because I definitely plan on making them again.
