Valentine's Snickerdoodle Cookies
These cookies are made just like the traditional snickerdoodle cookie. With the subtle cinnamon flavor throughout the cookies and the soft and chewy texture, these cookies say, "I Love You" and says, "I'm baked with love." They're also incredibly easy to and makes about 3 dozen cookies! It's a great cookie to make a lot of and share with loved ones and friends!
Great Cookie Gifts
These Valentine's Snickerdoodle Cookies are so easy to make and they're easy to get the cookies in a uniform shape and look. It's as simple as pinching off a 1-inch piece of cookie dough, rolling it into a ball and then rolling it into the sugar mixture.
For easy cleanup, I use silicone baking mats. It makes it a breeze to clean up the loose sugar and sprinkle granules.
To spruce the cookies up furthermore, sprinkle additional sanding sugar on top of them.

I was curious about the butter in the sugar mixture that you roll the dough balls in. Is this right or a miss print.
