Whole Wheat Snickerdoodles

Yes, I really did say Whole Wheat Snickerdoodles.

After purchasing a 5lb bag of whole wheat flour for the "Healthified" Chocolate Chip Cookies I made last week, I decided I needed to find other ways to use it. Surely in today's health conscious world there must be plenty of recipes using whole wheat flour....so here's one, a very tasty one! I love having long holiday weekends that give me time to do some fun baking! And a big thanks to one of my bestest friends ever, De, for telling me where to find cream of tartar in the supermarket. Sad, but true, I had never used it in a recipe before!
