Snickerdoodle

Description

Snickerdoodles are classic old-fashioned cookies that are rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and white sugar, consisting of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. They are characterized by their texture (soft or crispy), a cracked surface of the exterior, and a buttery, sweet flavor. The cookies got their name from the German word Schneckennudeln , meaning cinnamon-dusted sweet rolls , and another theory suggest that the name stems from a series of tales from the 1900s that centered around a hero named Snickerdoodle. Snickerdoodles are commonly baked for the holidays, eaten warm or at room temperature and are even better when accompanied with a glass of milk.
