Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle



My love for this blog all started back in March 2008 when I first was introduced to this spicy couple viewing their first cooking video online. They immediately captured my attention with their own style and mix of culture. They are adventurous in the kitchen and they bring each recipe to a professional level. Since then I’ve been following them in their culinary adventures.

Always seeking for perfection and looking for the best Snickerdoodle recipe, Todd developed his own recipe. I have to say that I was impressed and immediately wanted to try ‘the’ recipe. I’ve never had a Snickerdoodle cookie before and this was the chance to taste one. I had all the ingredients on hand and started baking. You will find different Snickerdoodle recipes on internet and one ingredient that is often missing is cream of tartar which will give the cookie a tangy flavor. You will experience that when you mix cream of tartar with baking soda your cookies will rise quickly and then collapse. You will have a cookie that is crunchy on top and chewy in the center. After the first bite I was in love and can’t wait to try the Pizookie recipe that Todd developed with his Snickerdoodle recipe. My sons raved about these cookies and one of them shared them with friends at school.

Note: After school my son said: mom my friend wants you to make these cookies every week now for school.

Love this cookies very much, haven't try to make my own, but I shall start soon, especially after looking at your Snickerdoodle here!

Elyse said...

These snickerdoodles look fabulous! I was reading about cream of tartar the other day, and apparently, on its own, it makes for a very chewy cookie. I'm thinking about experimenting with it--aside from its ability to neutralize baking soda. Anyway, I always think of snickerdoodles when I think of cream of tartar. These cookies look so delicious! Great job.

Esi said...

I love snickerdoodles! I have never made them myself though. Yum!

Steph said...

I agree, the cream of tartar makes these cookies extra special. I love your shot of those cookies!

Manggy said...

I love Todd and Diane too! I'm sure you did their recipe proud :)

Zita said...

These snickerdoodle look very pretty and delicious... No wonder you son & friends become addicted to them, I know I would too :)

Jamie said...

I just noticed Snickerdoodles on another blog and decided to make them for my husband's next administrative council meeting at work (they love when I send cookies). Yours look so delicious and perfect!

Happy cook said...

Isn't it wonderful when your kids says that his/her friends love the cookies mom makes.

@ pigpigscorner said...

I've never had snickerdoodles and am dying to try them!

Dawn said...

I can never get enough of these cookies. I've tried to experiment with them by adding in things, quite fun actually.

Peter M said...

Well of course these look fab - YOU made them! I love the flavour of these, got any left?

RecipeGirl said...

This is my absolute favorite cookie flavor of all cookies. Mom made them growing up, and I still use her recipe! These look great too though. It's likely fairly close to my recipe... can't mess with the original flavor too much!

unconfidentialcook said...

These look like great snickerdoodles. I have to admit, though, that being a chocolate person I am always slightly disappointed by the snickerdoodle because its name suggests something (chocolate) it isn't....

Bellini Valli said...

The White on Rice couple are such an adventurous pair. We made Snickerdoodles by the dozens at the Children's camnp in the summer, but I never did write down the recipe.

Half Baked said...

Your snickerdoodles look great! They are my favorite cookies:)

Marta said...

Helene! I'll follow you recommendation! the last snickerdoodles I attempted came out disastrous! So flat and hard :(
These looks lovely, though :)

Dragon said...

Sara said...

I love snickerdoodles. So does my husband, in fact, they are one of his favorite cookies. I'm going to surprise him by making some of these!

Joie de vivre said...

Love them, love them, love them!

Nina Timm said...

I sitting here typing with a steaming mug of coffee next to me! What I wouldn't give for a few of those cookies to dunk!!! Yum!!!

Kerstin said...

Your snickerdoodles look so perfect! They are one of favorites :)

Lisa said...

These look great. I've never made these, but next time I get a cookie craving, I'll be sure to consider this winning recipe.

Madam Chow said...

That is a wonderful photo - I will have to try this recipe!

Dana said...

I grew up in a house where this was the cookie of choice. My brother would INHALE them. She would set aside a few for the rest of us and then enjoy watching him go to town on the rest. They are still his favorite and I think I owe him some.

Coffee and Vanilla said...

Oh, the look delicious.
I will be making cookies tomorrow with my 4 year old daughter... she chosen recipe from the cookbook ;)

White on Rice Couple said...

Your cookies look perfect. We're so glad you guys love the recipe. It made our morning when you told us your test results! Thanks for all of the flattery, too. We're totally blushing! T & D.

eatme_delicious said...

Yum your snickerdoodles look gorgeous! I've only ever tried one snickerdoodle recipe and it doesn't use cream of tartar. I love how they stay dome shaped. I should try out a "real" snickerdoodle recipe!

Pam said...

Snickerdoodles are hands down my very favorite cookie. I love the photo.

ovenhaven said...

If I went to the same school as your son, I'd be bugging to follow him home every day!

The snickerdoodles look absolutely lovely. You've reminded me of how long it's been since I last had them :)

Grace said...

snickerdoodles are not only my favorite cookie to eat, but they're also my favorite cookie to name out loud. :)

laurence said...

Et voilà, après ça on se fait détester par les autres mamans de l'école, qui ne font pas d'aussi bons cookies ;-)

Navita said...

I'm not so sure whether I've eaten snickerdoodle before, but seriously it looks so yummy!

Adam said...

I love snickerdoodles! They were the first recipe we made in Home Ec in high school :) I never knew that the cream of tartar was that important, but it makes sense now :)

You always manage to take a snippet of your subject in the photographs that speaks volumes and make us hungry.
