Caramel Apple Snickerdoodle Cookies
Caramel Apple Snickerdoodle Cookies are the best way to start your day and get in the holiday spirit. These cookies taste like fall and are spiced to perfection and I can’t wait for you to try them. If you are like me, a traditional Snickerdoodle cookie is one of my very favorites. It’s sweet, moist and buttery. Switch things up a bit and add some extra spices and pieces of apple and you’ll take the traditional cookie up a few notches.Â
We finally moved into our new home and it’s been the first time in several months that I didn’t have a list of house projects that needed to be done. Yes there are still a few boxes needing to be unpacked but I decided to take the day off and bake up a storm in my new kitchen.
