Interesting Facts
Snickerdoodles are believed to have originated in Europe and were brought to America by Dutch immigrants.
The name 'snickerdoodle' is thought to come from the German word 'Schneckennudeln', which means 'snail noodles'.
Unlike most cookies, snickerdoodles are rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking to give them their signature flavor and texture.
