Snickerdoodle Cookie Day

Every year when the first snowflakes appear we make our Snow-Doodles, also known as Grandma Abby's Snickerdoodles.  I began making these for my babies when they were so tiny to celebrate the first snow and now that they are much bigger, when that first snow picture appears on my Instagram page, they call or message and ask if I'm making them and if they can come for dinner.  

These Snow-Doodles are light, soft and slightly crunchy on the edges...the perfect dunking cookie for hot cocoa or wassail.  Last night the first snow came in and it is still snowing outside on our pumpkins.  We love it, mostly because we know it will be gone by the weekend and we can still enjoy one last camping trip this weekend!  You will love this recipe!  The raw sugar makes them super sugary crunchy...just the best.
