Raw Sugar Snickerdoodles

My dad’s birthday was this week, and to honor his memory I made his favorite dessert. This recipe was actually passed down to me from my aunt so I was excited to try it for the first time. I actually ran out of granulated sugar by the time I needed to roll these bad boys which is why these are “raw sugar” snickerdoodles. Jump below for some first-timer tips!

Eat While: hanging out with some memories.

Pairing: Classic Amaretto Sour

Inspiration: the best dad in the world.

First Timer Tips: Bake for less time than you’d think - these harden as they cool. If you’re running low on sugar you can use any kind of sugar to roll these in!
