Of all the cookies of my childhood, Snickerdoodles are easily in my top three favourite. They're easy, they're tasty, and they keep for just about ever in the freezer. I can't swear to it, but it's entirely possible my profile picture is from a Snickerdoodle day. It was either that or peanut butter, since I was only allowed to help make those two when I was that little.
One tradition from my childhood that I still keep is visible in the picture above. See the gap where there should be another cookie? It was in my mouth while I took the picture. It's practically a law that I have to eat one when it's so hot from the oven it burns my tongue!
