Snickerdoodles {A Recipe}

It's not often that I bake something other than our favorite chocolate chip cookies.  When I went to get out all the ingredients today, I was out of brown sugar.  So I switched gears and used a couple of different snickerdoodle recipes to come up with my own. 

I know.  I hardly know myself at all anymore. 

Anyways, these turned out crispy on the outside, but chewy on the inside.  Huge winner in our house.  And I needed to write this down so I remember what I did.  Just like when I made up my own Cheddar Chicken Spaghetti.
