I have never met a person who didn’t like Snickerdoodles. Some people like them crispy (me), some folks like them chewy (me). Either way, it will always be a favorite cookie. I have been making them for years. In her Japanese accent, my mother used to ask me “you make a me the sneeka-doo-doo?” For the longest time when she was little, my daughter thought that is what they were called!! I don’t claim to make THE best Sneekadoodoo. All recipes for them are pretty much the same. But I know several people who do claim to make the best. Hooray for you!! All I know is that it is a fun cookie to make and they are so very yummy. Most recipes call for both shortening and butter. Mine does. But I also love them with just butter. It makes them a bit less snickerdoodle-ish, but delicious!
Hope you make some soon….
