Suprise, surprise. Another amazing recipe adapted from Marcella Hazan's Essential's of Italian Cooking. This is one of my bibles.

Vanilla Bean Snickerdoodles by Foodiewife

What? You've never had a Snickerdoodle? Impossible! They're made with the basic of ingredients-- butter, flour, eggs. One cannot forget to add the cream of tartar, salt or baking soda.

Two Memphis BBQ Sauces by myra byanka
