Snickerdoodles are quick and easy to make, and super delicious. It's a recipe shared with me by a dear friend (I absolutely adore all of her recipes, passed down in her family for generations). In my eyes, these snickerdoodles are the new chocolate chip.

Pillowy soft crumb envelopes a dollop of half-melted Nutella filling...Mmm.

Enjoy!
