Perfect Snickerdoodle Cookies

Cream-Cheese-Snickerdoodle-Cookies

I'm not sure if you have been reading my blog for long.  If you have been around for a few posts, you have probably caught on to the fact that I love adding cream cheese to my reciepes as a "secret ingredient".  You will love these Perfect Snickerdoodle Cookies and your friends will ask you to make them again and again.  I add cinnamon to the dough AND I roll them in more cinnamon.  These are full of flavor!

This is a great cookie to have your kids help with.  My 3 year old daughter loves to roll the dough after I scoop it and my 5 year old jumps in on the fun by placing them on a cookie sheet and slightly flattening them with a spoon.

You will see that I added a gallery of pictures above so that you can get a good visual of what each stage entails.  I like to use a cookie scoop to get the same size for each cookie and it makes it so easy to scoop and roll.  You can see that these come out with delicious cracked edges and a soft center.
