These sound really good! I love snickerdoodles!

[Mandy_Sav]

These sound awesome - how many cookies does the recipe make?

"Snickerdoodles" is such a horrible name for a food item. So off-putting! Almost as bad as "spotted dick". I'd rather a giggling, uh, you-know-what than a spotted, diseased looking one though.

(No offense to your recipe, just the name, which you didn't invent)

[IamJen]

Huh. I think it's an American/British/Aussie language thing perhaps. Snickerdoodles to me, only make me think of someone laughing (or "snickering"). When I was little, we though it was because the cookies often have the look of a scrunched up face. Is doodle a reference to um, boy parts, in particular?

Mandy, when I've made them (it's been a looong time now), I think there were about 18 cookies. I think the original recipe said 24-30, so I suppose it depends on what size cookie you like. :)

11238 lol, I will cut off your boys parts and make cookies out of them!

Heh, yes. So it sounds a little like they are called "giggling penises" to me, which is a rather interesting cookie name, you must admit.

[IamJen]

I am soooo going to start calling them that now.

I can hear it now, conversation with my sister, on the phone...

"Hey, watcha doing?"
"Ah, just getting ready to eat a couple of giggling penises".

:lol:

You crazy kids!
I made these last night. They were delicious and easy to prepare. I will definitely make them again.

That is so weird.

As for the cookies, I'm going to try these soon. Snickerdoodles was my most favoritest cookie as a child (and I didn't/don't usually have favorites, ever). The thought of these makes me :drool:

[emilytx]

I made these yesterday for my aunts baby shower also, they were good but really gooey in the middle.

I just made these, I kept them in for about 12 minutes though. They are a little "crispy" on the outside from the cinnamon sugar, but soft on the inside....these are soooo freakin' good!!
