Lee's Snickerdoodles. The two most important elements of Mom's snickerdoodle recipe: she always adds cream of tartar, and she always leaves out vanilla extract. In fact, I believe it's the only cookie recipe she's ever made without vanilla extract. Mom would tell you the cream of tartar stabilizes the snickerdoodles, providing the light, soft, pillowy texture. These perfectly baked gluten-free snickerdoodle cookies are soft on the inside and crisp on the outside with that sweet cinnamon-sugar coating. Sara Lee pound cake baked in a layer of butter and cinnamon sugar, topped with vanilla ice cream, white chocolate sauce, and white chocolate curls - this Snickerdoodle Pound Cake is hard to resist!
