Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe

Gifts in a jar It's incredible how bringing out this snickerdoodle cookie recipe can bring back so many childhood memories for me. It's one of my all-time favs as far as cookies go and I know that you'll love it too.

The amount of dry ingredients is a perfect fit for a gift in a jar. It might be a tight squeeze, but if you tap the jar down on your counter every so often while you spoon in the flour mixture, everything should fit.

If you have the means, it's nice to tie on a small bag filled with the cinnamon mixture. But don't worry if you can't, just make sure to include the mixture amounts in your recipe card.
