Snickerdoodles

Baking for other people is one of my favorite things to do. I am pretty sure people on the receiving end don't mind. After starting a new job last week, I got excited that I finally had fellow co-workers who would enjoy my treats. So tonight, I decided to try out Snickerdoodles. We'll find out tomorrow at work if they are a hit or not. They sure look good!
