THE BEST COOKIES EVER

I discovered these cookies one summer when I worked as a campground host for the Forest Service. Some campers who took a liking to me brought these to me and I gobbled a dozen in one night. Try these and you will see what I mean.

Snickerdoodles

They may have an unusual name, but these rich cinnamon-sugar cookies are great for the holidays or anytime you want a tasty cinnamon treat.

Sounds good. As soon as I figure out how to add spell check, I might.
