Recipe Review-Soft Snickerdoodles- My Favorite Christmas Cookie

I have always loved Snickerdoodles.   I recall when I was a child during the Christmas holidays my mom prepared many different types of Christmas cookies.  She made Chocolate Chip Cookies, Spritz, and Sugar Cookies.  I remember the year she added Snickerdoodles.  I think everyone in the family fell in love with this cookie.

I have not always had the best of luck with Snickerdoodle recipes.  They were so easy to overcook and if I did they became hard.  In order to remedy this I many times would undercook this cookie. This recipe seems to be a bit more forgiving and all of my cookies came out soft and delicious.
