As in snickerdoodle cookies for us Swifties.

Taylor Swifts gravitational pull is strong.

So I took a deep breath and called the kids into the kitchen to bake them together.

Since then, every year Swifties come back to the recipeits become a harbinger of cold-weather baking.

My kids are the best.

So are these cookies, which we now call Swifterdoodles because they remind us ofsnickerdoodle cookies.

I used the amounts Joy calls for in the recipe and my kids didn’t find them too strong.

Its impossible to scoop as is.

Roll each in a cinnamon sugar mixture and bake in a 350F oven for about 9 minutes.

I could fit eight cookies on a standard sheet pan without them spreading and becoming one with each other.

Thats what I did, and my oh my!

Cool the cookies on a wire rack.

Then spread a glaze made with powdered sugar, milk, and ground nutmeg.

This is going to feel like it’s too much, especially with the cinnamon sugar coating.

If you’re really averse to the extra sugar, skip it.

I glazed half of our cookies and left the other bare.

The glazed ones were gone first and were well worth the extra effort.
