50 States, 50 Cookies: Georgia

I love snickerdoodles. Who doesn’t? I was excited for these cookies. I thought the peach would give them a slightly sweet peace flavor & I thought the sweet potato aspect would be a nice way to bump up the nutrition.

I was wrong. Way wrong. These cookies were absolutely inedible. They had zero flavor.
