Grandma's Snickerdoodles

These are my husband's favorite cookie and they are the ones we make for Santa every year.

This is one I like doing with my kids because they can get their hands dirty making the balls.

• Shape dough into 1 inch balls.

These are awesome when they are still warm!

Also, my daughter's preschool xmas party is tomorrow so I shrank down and printed off more 

snowman wrappers and used them on boxes of smarties. Pretty easy for something pretty cute!
