Snickerdoodles
Sheltering in Place, a new phrase we coined during the COVID-19 pandemic will have many memories for all of us. I am trying to make fun and joy filled memories for my grandchildren so when they ask for Gammie to make a special recipe, I jump to it! Plus it is a great excuse for a Sunday drive to make a stop and drop (homemade soup and cookies) that includes a social distancing visit with some of the grandkids in their back yard. This week Sophie asked me if I had ever made Snickerdoodles. I hunted through my recipe files and found my well used and well loved recipe card for Snickerdoodles. Picky Ricky the Growing Weisser Food Critic of course had to give the cookies a taste test and he gave them a thumbs up!!!!!

1 ½ cups sugar

2 eggs
2 ¾ cups flour

Stir or beat until soft dough results. Chill dough for 30 minutes to a few hours. Make balls (1 teaspoon each makes 8-9 dozen, 1 Tablespoon each makes 3-4 dozen). Roll balls in cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake in 375 degree oven-10 minutes for teaspoon sized balls and 16 minutes for tablespoon sized balls. Allow cookies to cool and enjoy.
