📜 History of Snickerdoodles

The snickerdoodle cookie is believed to have originated in Germany or New England in the late 19th century. The name may come from the German word “Schneckennudel”, meaning snail-shaped sweet roll. Traditionally, they were enjoyed as simple sugar cookies rolled in cinnamon. The addition of cream of tartar gives them their signature tangy flavor. Today, they are beloved across America, often associated with holiday baking and warm, nostalgic family memories.
