12 Days of Christmas Cookies: Snickerdoodles
On the sixth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Six Snickerdoodles,
Five Sugar Cookies,
Four Viennese Crescents,
Three Candy Cane cookies,
Two Toffee Squares,
And a cookie shaped like a Christmas tree.
My grandmother made these cookies every Christmas, and my mother has carried on that tradition. Snickerdoodles typically are rolled in sugar and cinnamon, but my mother rolls them in red and green colored sugar crystals instead.
