"At our house, a cookie party always includes Grandma Bennett’s Snickerdoodles. This wonderfully simple recipe has been handed down in my husband’s family for generations, and it is a favorite at our house.
Our children grew up helping to make these cookies, and that tradition continues with every passing year. I hope that you and your children enjoy these delicious cookies, too!”

I love fall! I love the changing colors on the trees, the crisp cool air and the pure joy knowing that God has created it all! It's also a time for hot apple cider, and hayrides....love it!
