Although now they are known as american cookies, but they originate from Germany from the german world “Schneckennudel” which is a kind of pastry.

Snickerdoodle cookies seems to create a nice big batch, however they do disappear rather quickly. My mum often asks me to make a batch for her and when I do it tends to make about 24-36 small cookies. My mum and neighbours do love these cookies, every time I make them, there only last a few days (if I’m lucky – sometimes only hours!)

The cookies themselves aren’t overly sweet, but definitely hit the right spot when looking for a sweet treat. They are perfect for fayres and fates as they do keep well. These are pretty quick and easy to make, only takes about 1 hour from start to finish baking the batch.

The cream of tartar adds a unique tangy taste to the cookies, not many bakes can handle the cream tartar as a raising agent, but these cookies aren’t a snickerdoodle without it. These are so easy no fancy pants ingredients needed, just quick easy and no dough chilling either, couldn’t get any easier.
