The Snacks chapter in my mother’s cookbook contains MANY baked goods. Cookies, bars, cakes, scones...lots and lots of baked goods. The basic cookies seemed best to start with - so after the delicious Chocolate Chip cookies, I decided on a batch of Snickerdoodles.

Ingredients!
My mom had two options for this cookie, regular and lemon. I split the batch in half and made some of each. One of the things I discovered with this recipe (along with reading other recipes in the book), is there are a few kitchen utensils my mother uses that I do not have access to. This recipe called for a lemon zester; and while I have copious amounts of kitchen items, a lemon zester is not among them.
Alas, I improvised with a vegetable peeler and a knife. Seemed to work just fine.
The first pan of cookies was on a rack too close to the bottom heating element in the oven and got a little burnt on the bottom. But the rest of the batch worked out just fine. Even though I discovered I’m not a huge snickerdoodle fan, my roommate made sure to tell me that the cookies were “really good, even frozen.”
