Snickerdoodles

Let me just say these are probably the best snickerdoodles i've ever had. This was my first time making them so i wasn't sure what to expect. They're really easy to make! I was glad this recipe didn't call for the cream of tarter, it might have ruined the recipe. These cookies are perfectly moist in the middle and they're the right size too! The only thing I would do differently next time is cutting the cinnamon sugar part in half. I was left over with a lot of cinnamon sugar.
