Easy Mini Snickerdoodle Cookies Recipe

Something about this time of year and the holiday season just screams out for me to use more cinnamon and sugar in everything I make. My glucose tolerance test is next week and I’m starting to get concerned that I’ve been indulging way too much lately and cooking far too many of my favorite holiday recipes. My saving grace is my test is after Christmas so I can still indulge for a little while longer.

As a preemptive measure I’ve been looking for ways to enjoy my favorite flavors for a while longer in moderation. Since cinnamon and sugar is the flavor combination of the season, I decided to make mini Snickerdoodle Cookies which help me maintain portion control without feeling as though I’m deprived. These are also the perfect size for anyone looking to control their weight and are the perfect size for little hands!

Now the only problem is convincing myself that one is more than enough to curb my sweet tooth.
