Snickerdoodles

This recipe came from Tristi Pinkston. She wanted me to test some recipes for a book she has coming out and YUM! So delicious. They're best eaten within 24 hours (if you have a hard time with that, give me a call I'm sure I can help) but are always delicious. mmmmmm...Makes about 3 dozen, give or take.
