Snickerdoodles... with a memory and a recipe

Donna, the heroine from MY ONE SQUARE INCH OF ALASKA, faces several challenges in the kitchen, but I think she would have liked this old-fashioned cookie back in the 1950s. They're still yummy today!

This recipe for Snickerdoodles is from my Grandmother Lourainey Hurley (who, by the way, was nothing like the grandmother in ALASKA...) passed down to me by my Aunt Opal.  

Now, here's the backstory. I'd love to tell you of all the great times I sat at my Grandma's kitchen table and munched on those amazing cookies.

But I can't. I never even knew she made those cookies when I was a little kid. Our visits from our home in Ohio to hers in southern Kentucky were fairly rare, and didn't synchronize with her Snickerdoodle baking schedule.
