Baking With Anna Olson
It has been way too long that I have baked anything. I am not sure why – perhaps time just passed without my noticing it. Thankfully I realized this aberrance and made these cute cinnamon cookies today. They are simple to make yet make for a sweet tasty snack. I will post more recipes in the common week.

Unbeknownst to me during all this time is that snickerdoodles are actually soft and chewy, sugary and sweet, melt-in-your-mouth cookies!
