  • Bake 5-10 minutes (I baked mine for 6 minutes – it left them softer)

Now the reason I love this recipe (besides the yummy taste) is that there is no almond extract or nuts of any kind in it. My mom is terribly allergic to nuts so she never got to enjoy a delicious snicker doodle but thanks to this recipe now she can!

I love snicker doodles!! And I love the fact that they make a great gift!
