Classic Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles likely have German or Dutch origins, brought to the United States by immigrants in the 19th century, with the whimsical name possibly derived from a German word meaning ‘quickly made snail.’ They became a beloved American cookie by the early 20th century, easily recognized by their cracked tops and cinnamon-sugar coating.
