Snickerdoodly Doodles

Snickerdoodles! That word is just so fun to say! I've made these cookies before, but never blogged about it. I like flattened snicker doodles, so maybe next time I should try with all butter. I read up on a lot new recipes for this type of cookie. There's that controversy of using "disgusting" shortening... vs just butter. Well, whatever, live a little. There's so little shortening per cookie in this recipe that I know you'll find much more unhealthy fats in processed foods. I did use shortening, but combined it with butter. I followed the recipe almost to a T... minus 1/3 of the sugar, and it was still plenty sweet.

These were puffy, cakey, with crisp edges and chewy centers. I say that's a pretty delicious description of a cookie, don't you think so?  This is just another classic tried and true recipe in my books!
