Candy Cane Doodles
My mum's delicious snickerdoodle recipe, in a Thermomix, perfectly Christmassy with the addition of peppermint, just a bit naughty and very nice.
Snickerdoodles like you didn't know them. I love a good snicker any time of year, especially when there is a doodle involved! And when it is pretty in pink peppermint, even better! Perfect for a Christmas cookie left out for Santa...and the kids will love helping. I'm sure! (goodluck with that!)
Heartwarming. Homemade. Pepperminty. Enjoy.
