Hello! In the Kitchen this week is my friend Dorothy Vanscoy with her wonderful Snickerdoodle cookies. I found out about these cookies from my friend Leeanne Pickering, who shared a picture of the cookies Dorothy gave her. Leeanne sent me a message and told me how delicious they were. Thank you so much for sending me this recipe. I love Snickerdoodle cookies.

Please send me your favorite recipe, along with a story and/or a picture of it if you have one, and I will put you in the kitchen with Sharon. Send them to [email protected] or call me at 937-393-3456.

Remember to do something nice for someone this week. Have a great week.

Roll in a mixture of two tablespoons of sugar and one teaspoon of cinnamon.
