Granny’s Snickerdoodles

Granny always kept the cookie jar filled with these wonderful cinnamon-sugar cookies. My friends always wanted to stop by to see her and sneak into the jar with me. She is famous for them at church and always makes them for her quilting bees. Everyone loves them! You will too! They have crispy edges, but chewy centers. You can make them for any occasion, and feel confident that they will be a hit!
