Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles

Birthdays in my family are special and this weekend is my brother’s birthday so we have been celebrating for several days already! One of his favorite cookies is snickerdoodles. So I made them today!

In honor of this tasty cinnamon sugar coated cookie, today’s song is “A Doodlin’ Song” sung by Peggy Lee and Bing Crosby. I figure “Doodlin'” and “Snickerdoodles” go together, right?
