"Clean" Snickerdoodles

On my recent discovery of all of the harmful additives, dyes and preservatives that are baked into the boxed cookies my family has been consuming for years, I decided to educate myself even further and put forth my beat effort to find out what I can do to give my family a healthy alternative. I found this really easy recipe for Snickerdoodles. One of my favorite cookies and this recipe is both easy and healthy. By replacing just a few ingredients on your next grocery run, you too can make these treats and feel confident that your family is free of the harmful ingredients found in those other snacks you've been buying! My two year old daughter really enjoyed helping Mommy make these and she was very anxious to try them as you can see by this picture of her patiently waiting for them to finish baking. Needless to say she loved them.

Snickerdoodles recipe
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup organic cane sugar
1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract 
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (I uses King Arthur's White Whole Wheat Flour sold at walmart)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
Cream butter and sugar then add egg and vanilla. In separate bowl combine dry ingredients together and gradually add into wet mixture. Form small balls with the cookie dough and roll each one in cinnamon sugar. Bake at 375 for 10-11 minutes.
