My confession for the week is, that I've never actually had a Snickerdoodle before.  It wasn't until I made this recipe, given to me by my cousin's Tracy and Debbie, that I knew exactly what they were.  I didn't take me long to figure out that these are scrumptious little one bite treats.  However, even though I thought they turned out deliciously I wanted to make sure that they tasted like they were supposed to, which is why I enlisted my husband to give them his seal of approval.  He did without hesitation and even when back for seconds and thirds.  In my book that's success.  

     Nevertheless you don't have to take our word for it.  Why don't you give them a try yourself and let me know what you think.  Here's what you'll need.
