Cookie Carnival : June - Snickerdoodles

For this month's installment of Cookie Carnival, hosted by Kate of The Clean Plate Club, we were given the opportunity to vote on which cookie we'd like to bake. Hard choices had to be made with three equally tasty, but very different cookies on the menu. What to bake? Snickerdoodles? Coconut Macaroons? Double Chocolate cookies? As it turned out the majority of the 40-bakers strong group, including yours truly, voted for Snickerdoodles.
Cookie Carnival: May - Blueberry Drop Cookies

To be fair, these little cookies got relegated to the bottom of my priority list, in light of all the other baking projects I was working on the last couple of weeks. Not that I wasn't excited about participating in another installment of Cookie Carnival, it’s just that when I scanned the recipe I thought it looked easy-peasy and as I had until the end of May, I parked it to be made closer to the deadline date. Of course, today is June 2nd, isn't it? So what happened?
Cookie Carnival : April
Cookie Carnival - Raspberry Swirl Cookies
I'm getting this in right under the wire, but I didn't want the fact that my wallet got stolen on Good Friday (and the fact that the b$#%^@ds proceeded to empty out my bank account), keep me from blogging about these cookies that I baked as a part of the Cookie Carnival blog event happening over at The Clean Plate Club.
I found this recipe pretty easy, but I did make a few changes, I used a mixed fruit jam (cherries, strawberries and raspberries), added half a vanilla pod to the cookie dough, and omitted the sweetened flaked coconut, which you can't find here in the NL (and my boyfriend doesn't like). I found the idea of combining raspberry preserves and sweetened flaked coconut a bit of strange taste combo, but I'm curious to see what the other participants thought. Unfortunately, I forgot to add the salt, so I found my version of the recipe a bit on the bland side. I'd like to make the recipe again, and play around with it a bit.
This is my very first submission to Cookie Carnival hosted by Kate over at The Clean Plate Club.
