These Toffee Speckled Snickerdoodles are a cookie classic kicked up a notch, with toffee bits in each bite. Perfect for the holiday season! GUEST POST from Very Culinary

Hi everyone! Amy from Very Culinary here.

Oreos, lemon, and cinnamon are pretty much my kryptonite. If I see something including any of those ingredients, it’s guaranteed to get made. So it only stands to reason that I always have those items in my house. At all times. In bulk.

So, when I went to make cookies for Katrina’s cookie swap, I didn’t even think twice about what my contribution would be. Snickerdoodles are my all time favorite cookie; they beat out chocolate chip, oatmeal, and loft house.

And I knew I had cinnamon…

….or did I?

I looked in my spice drawer. Not there. I looked in my cupboard. Not there. How could I possibly be out of cinnamon???? I frantically drove to the store and bought three containers, overcompensating for my complete dismay and fail.

I get home, put one in the drawer and go to put the other two in the pantry….next to the other two containers that were already sitting there. Of course. So, now I have four.

The moral of this story is to trust in myself that I always have cinnamon. Because Snickerdoodles rule. Especially when they include toffee.

The end.
