When I first looked at the recipe I thought that it was just a snickerdoodle. They are similar but calling them a sugar cream pie is a very accurate description. They are so soft, pillowy, & super creamy. When they first come out of the oven they are still on the raw side. Let them sit for a few minutes before you eat one and you might never make a regular snickerdoodle again.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees farenheit.
