Do you have a family recipe that has been passed down for generations? Maybe you have a recipe that you used to know but somehow lost it in the chaos of life. Pleasing flavors and aromas have the power to bring up fond memories and nostalgia of past holidays. While I was growing up I would always look forward to the holiday season when I got to spend time with my grandma and help her make the most delicious Snickerdoodle Cookies. We had the same tradition for 20 years until she passed away and now I carry on the tradition with my kids every single year.
My Grandma Karen’s Snickerdoodle Cookies are a hit every year and it’s the only cookie I can not stop eating. Before you know it you’ve eaten an entire batch because they are that amazing. Since I love baking these cookies every year we make around 5 dozen so that we can share with friends and family during the Holiday season!
Every time I see McCormick® spices at the store it always makes me think of my grandmother and it’s the fondest memories for me. This is why I use McCormick spices in my holiday cookies. Wondering how I make my delicious Grandma Karen’s Snickerdood Cookies? Than keep on reading.
