In my attempt to bake my way through the Blue Ribbon Baking Book, I recently made a recipe for Snickerdoodles for the first time in my life. Strangely enough, although I have been baking all of my life, and have made countless varieties of cookies and other goodies, I somehow managed to never even hear about these cookies!
They turned out really well (apparently). Everyone seemed to like them, and I guess that they cme out the way that Snickerdoodles are supposed, which is nice, since I didn't really even have a photo of what they were going to turn out like (although one can suualyl make a good guess based upon the recipe).
My question is this: Where did that name come from? I got confused, because I thought that they would have peanuts in them, like the Snickers candy bar, and pbviously they do not. Does anyone know their story?
