Snickerdoodle

A snickerdoodle is a delightful type of cookie made with butter or oil, sugar, and flour, all rolled in a delectable cinnamon-sugar mixture. Sometimes, the recipe includes eggs, cream of tartar, and baking soda to help the cookies rise. One of the signature features of snickerdoodles is their cracked surface, and they can be either crispy or soft, depending on personal preference. What sets them apart from regular sugar cookies is their distinctive cinnamon-sugar coating.

The name "snickerdoodle" has an element of mystery surrounding it. It might have German origins, or it could simply be a whimsical name that originated in New England.

In the United States, snickerdoodles are especially beloved in Mennonite and Amish communities. Their popularity has even led to a variety of snickerdoodle-inspired products. For instance, Chex Mix Muddy Buddies, Dunkin' Donuts' Snickerdoodle Cookie Latte, and Nestlé Coffee-Mate have all embraced the snickerdoodle trend. Ice cream brands like Braum's and Prairie Farms have also introduced snickerdoodle-flavored ice creams.

The snickerdoodle craze doesn’t stop at food. The cookie's scent has been incorporated into candles and body washes, although with varying levels of success.
