Cookie Friday: Snickerdoodles

Happy Cookie Friday, everyone!  Today, I'm sharing a recipe for an all-time classic -- Snickerdoodles!

Sorry if this photo doesn't really "sell" these cookies.  I was in a bit of rush to take this photo before I shared these cookies with my co-workers, who gobbled them up quickly.

This recipe comes from the 2008 Iowa State Fair Cookbook.  (I can't wait for the state fair to start in a couple weeks!  I've been craving corn dogs in the worst way.)

Bake up a batch of snickerdoodles, and enjoy a taste of the Iowa State Fair from home.
