½ tsp salt
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup milk

  1. For years I have not liked snickerdoodles, and then Greg made these cookies, and now I am a snickerdoodle fan!! The difference is the butter, and the brown sugar that they are rolled in, right before baking!! Way to go Greg cuz you won me over. These cookies are just like eating my Mom's morning Coffee Cake (minus the coffee of course)and since my Mom can't cook anymore, it brings back a flood of memories of happy days gone by!
