Soft & Fluffy Snickerdoodles

I think if someone were to ask me my first love, it would be Snickerdoodle cookies. I don't know, maybe salsa...

Nope, it's this cookie.

It just brings so many good memories to my mind. It's the cookie my Mom always made for me on rainy days, its smell generates instant comfort to anyone in its presence plus it's just beautiful & delicious in its simplicity. It doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles to be divine! So, here is one of my favorite recipes for this delightful cookie.
