Soft Snickerdoodle Cookies

Out of pure boredom, sugar cravings, and just basic ingredients needed, I found this recipe online at Food.com and gave it a try.  These cookies turned out so good.  Yummo!  I must say I have ate WAY too many.  So hard to stop until your stomach tells you to STOP.  Thats where I'm at right now but I thought I would share the recipe with you all.  

I rolled the dough balls about the size of a small rubber ball that a child might get out of a bubble gum machine.  They don't spread out to far so you can place them kinda close together for a bigger batch and less time waiting around the oven.

The dough and cookie sheets need to be chilled in the fridge for 15 minutes before baking.  I used 3 cookie sheets so after one was cool to the touch I would put it back into the fridge to chill again.  Kind of a pain but worth the little effort for a light crunchy chewy cookie.
