Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle cookies are different than regular sugar cookies made with flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. They have cream or tarter in them which makes them different from a normal sugar cookie! 

Hey if your new here, my name is Jenna. I’ve had this recipe blog for over 10 years now and I like to share WW recipes as well as other types of recipes. Many people who join WW are under the impression that a WW dessert has to have ingredients like fake sugars and some type of butter substitute. I’m here to tell you that you can HAVE a cookie without any of that in it AT ALL and still lose weight. You just have to have some self-control.

I’ve learned that you can lower points of recipes just by cutting back on the amount of sugar or butter added that the original recipe called for. However, baked desserts are really hard to make lower in points and still have them taste good. I'd rather have a real cookie anyway and still have it taste good. That's what weekly points are for.
