Definitely A Santa Cookie: Snickerdoodles

This is definitely the perfect Santa cookie. They are soft, chewy, buttery, and full of flavor.

This is for sure going in my FAVORITES box.

I am stuck on using bread flour in cookies. The flour totally changes the texture of a normal cookie. It's amazing how different they are.

And I am in love with this picture......Isn't it funny how a blogger will take twenty or more pictures of their food and fall in love with just one?
