Snickerdoodles

We are getting ready to have a family party and one of my sister-in-laws wanted to try my snickerdoodle recipe so she could bring it. I originally got this recipe from www.gfutah.org, the Utah Celiac organization. I have not tried all of their recipes but the couple of recipes I have tried are great. They are also the source for my sugar cookie recipe that I love so much.
