I was never a big fan of snickerdoodles… actually I hadn’t ever even TRIED them until I moved to Texas 7 years ago. They’re quite popular down here. AND I have to admit, they are quite delicious as well. Baking over the holidays is one of my favorite traditions, and these Maple Snickerdoodle Cookies have been added to the “to bake list” from now until the end of time!
Yes, they are THAT good!
Lets talk about holiday traditions for a moment shall we?
I firmly believe that it’s the glue that holds the magic of Christmas together as we grow up and look at Christmas as adults. It’s the memories and the moments and the specialness that keeps that magic alive! Some of my most vivid childhood memories are around the holidays, and I am willing to bet a dozen of these cookies, that its the same for you too.
Making new traditions with your own kids and family and friends is magical in its own right, but its the long standing ones that hold the most memories and magic for me. Holiday baking is one of those special things that I look forward to the most each year!

I absolutely love snickerdoodles. A friend from work used to make them with shortening and they were to-die-for! I could eat them all if I could. By far my favorite cookie
