Snickerdoodles

senseicheryl's Note:

This recipe was featured in an email today from the www.recipe4living.com website. I searched Zaar and could not find this exact recipe so I thought we'd give them a try. :-) Please note that the yield amount is estimated at this point. Submitted by msglass from Northbrook, IL. "I originally found this recipe on the blog Bake or Break. She had adapted it from a Nigella Lawson recipe. The cookie comes out more cake-like and definitely isn't chewy. But the nutmeg adds special flavor, especially around the holidays."

Not a snicker doodle! Did not melt into the beautiful round that snickers idles are supposed to do. Way too cake like.

Delicious and really easy to make, even without a mixer. Only makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies, though, so I'd recommend doubling if you've got a big family. Thanks!
