We are a little late … but better late than never :whistle:

Ode to all of you that LOVE …

 

What is a snickerdoodle? 

Prior to baking, the snickerdoodle dough is rolled in cinnamon sugar. Snickerdoodles are typically baked until crispy, but they can be baked at lower heat for a softer cookie.

Snickerdoodles are also commonly referred to as sugar cookies, but there are slight differences between the two.

In America they have been around since the late 1800s. They probably originated in New England and are either of German or Dutch descent.

The snickerdoodle cookie is most commonly thought to have originated in Germany, and its name is derived from the German word "schneckennudeln," which means "snail dumpling." A schneckennudeln is a German cookie that is crunchy and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Another popular theory surrounding the origin of the snickerdoodle cookie is that it is named after "Snickerdoodle the Superhero," a folk hero who appeared in a variety of storybooks. The mystery as to whether the character was named after the cookie or the cookie was named after the character has yet to be solved.

Snickerdoodle cookies are made with eggs, butter, sugar, cream of tartar and flour. Prior to baking, the snickerdoodle dough is rolled in cinnamon sugar. Snickerdoodles are typically baked until crispy, but they can be baked at lower heat for a softer cookie.

Snickerdoodles are also commonly referred to as sugar cookies, but there are slight differences between the two. Snickerdoodles are sprinkled with cinnamon and are thick with a crunchy texture, while sugar cookies are sprinkled with white sugar and are typically thin and soft in texture. The cinnamon in the snickerdoodle is balanced with cream of tartar, resulting in a flavor that is both sweet and spicy.

- Fair Use -

Or how about white chocolate chip & macadamia nut cookies

 

And we can’t forget the hot white chocolate drinks

 

 

I’ve never had snickerdoodles nor solid white hot chocolate drinks … looking forward to these in eternity and beyond (other planets/galaxies … ?)

I love white chocolate. Years ago, I had a few white hot chocolate drinks.  I forgot all about this, the photos reminded me of them. Very nice!

Snickerdoodles look good too.

Hmmm … conflicting views on “hot white chocolate” drinks :scratch:

Heidi loves white chocolate and Yohanan calls it cake icing :unsure:

Perhaps  when I do try the hot white chocolate drink I’ll ask for it in a shot glass. B-)

Funny list. :mail: Hope I don't sidetrack the thread, too much.

The idea that cholesterol is bad for you is a lie. So, eggs are fine. :good:

In fact, eggs are God's gift to us. 1/3rd protein, 1/3rd carbs and 1/3rd fat.

Cholesterol is essential for making a number of critical hormones, including the stress hormone cortisol. Cholesterol is also used to make the sex hormones testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen.

Ever wonder why the devil, who hates all human life, is actively working through his minions to demonize cholesterol? To lower fertility rates, for one thing.

You can read more about how cholesterol isn't the problem but statin drugs are:
