Snickerdoodles

Bruce does not have a sweet tooth. He doesn't crave sweets or massive amounts of sugar. He thinks frosting is gross and...wait for the ball to drop... he doesn't like chocolate! 

However, the one sweet thing that he does like and will occasionally ask for are Snickerdoodle cookies. I tried this new recipe yesterday and they turned out super well!
