Snickerdoodles

Hello!

Long time no blog! What can I say? Life is busy!!

I have been talking to some lovely Australian ladies a lot lately as we prepare to make the big move and I have discovered they do not have Crisco shortening! Tragic! I don't use Crisco a whole lot but I do have a few recipes that are better with Crisco. Anyway, one of these ladies was making snickerdoodle the other day and I found out it was a cake! Here we make snickerdoodles as cookies, so I started looking for a snickerdoodle recipe that used butter instead of shortening. So, in one of my trusty church cookbooks, I found one. So, I have posted it below. When I was learning how to make cookies when I was young, I was told that butter makes them flatter and shortening makes them puffier, so these may be a little less puffy but I hope they are good nonetheless. Enjoy!
