Melissa's Internet Snicker Doodles

Years ago, when I was living in Ogden, and Melissa was in Atlanta, I was talking to her and got some recipes from her for cookies. This is one of them, when I asked her where she got the recipe, she did not remember where, but that it was off of the internet somewhere. I have made these here and there over the past few years, and they are great. The key to this recipe, is to not make them too large, and pull them out of the oven when they look underdone, and then let them harden on the pan for few minutes before placing them on the rack to cook. This makes for a great chew snicker doodle ;-)
