This was my daughter’s first full weekend at college. In other words, it was my first full weekend without my daughter at home. I missed her like crazy. I managed to get a care package off to her, which included a batch of Snickerdoodles, a cookie we’ve enjoyed making together. These are easy and hold up well during shipping (so I’m told), and are also nice to tuck in a lunchbox. The recipe is adapted from the one in Martha Stewart’s Cookies cookbook. Comfort. And joy.
