The Best Snickerdoodles (all butter)

November 7, 2014 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 16 Comments

  I have to admit that I am a chocolate chip cookie girl myself, so I kind of forget about making other kinds of cookies!  Which according to my family is a tragedy because they LOVE snickerdoodles !  I  try to have cookies in my freezer to pop into my 5 boys daily lunches and these are the most requested variety by far!  I think I avoided them for years because most snickerdoodle recipes have

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
