"A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand."

Few things in life are as soothing as homemade cookies: being in love; affectionate puppies; a mother's embrace. As I currently lack access to any of the above, cookies seemed like a good idea.
I initially wanted to make chocolate chip oatmeal ones, but I didn't have any brown sugar =( so I decided to make snickerdoodles, since I found a recipe for them a while back. My biggest problem with snickerdoodles is that they are sometimes too hard and I like my cookies soft and moist. I ended up tweaking the recipe a little and voilà!

SUCCESS!

They turned out better than my highest expectations. I mean, it's pretty bad graces to praise you own stuff, but umm, possibly the best cookies I've ever had! And if not, for sure the best snickerdoodle cookies I've ever tasted. The first bite carried me into a soft cloud of comfort, soft, sweet, delicious.

The Recipes:
It claims to make three dozen... but those would probably be some small cookies. I only was able to make around twenty.

Ingredients:
* not whole measurements because I had to adjust for different serving amount than the recipe.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
In another bowl/electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add to dry mixture and beat till smooth dough forms.
Preheat over to 390 degrees.
Shape dough into round balls and place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper/aluminum foil.

For coating:
Roll the balls in a cinnamon and sugar mix (I did about 2/10 cup of sugar for every teaspoon of cinnamon). Flatten each cookie into about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.

Let cool. Enjoy!
