Serving up delicious, easy recipes, one plate at a time!
As I get into a new routine with my job, I am getting on more of a schedule for blogging. I hope to share my take on favorite holiday cookies!
When I was growing up, my aunt and uncle lived just a few homes down from us. We spent winter break baking holiday cookies to share with our cousins on Christmas Eve. One of the cookies we made were snickerdoodles! As a child, the name made me smile 😀 I created my Cinnamon Cardamom Snickerdoodles last winter, when I was experimenting with cardamom pods.
I love a soft sugar cookie as much as the next person but they are a bit boring as far as cookies go. Add in some festive sprinkles and frosting and you have elevated a “boring” cookie into something extraordinary 😀
These cookies are so versatile because you can change out the sprinkles to fit any occasion! I will definitely be making these during my Christmas cookie bake-a-thon.
Not only are they perfect for any occasion, they are so delicious. I made a batch for a friend who said she ate 3 in one sitting!! (This is your warning haha!)
Here is the recipe:
