A pretty tasty coffee, as well.

Goldendoodles?

I'd tap that.


Going by the name "SnickerDoodle," I'd say that it's what you get when you laugh so hard you mess yourself.

kind of what he said, only all butter, all eggs organic and free-range, and using organic, unbleached vanilla sugar rather than vanilla extract and white sugar (just THINK of all those dioxins!)

Um, that's how my mom made them. And I'm still alive after eating DOZENS of them, growing up. :)


Curse you all. Now I'm hungry.


The best thing EVER!

Come to the Dark Side. We have pecan sandies.

Snickerdoodles sound delicious.

You need a little nutmeg in with the cinnamon sugar they're rolled in, though. Preferably freshly ground.

Freshly ground cinnamon is also preferable.

There's a place that ACTUALLY sells good snickerdoodles?

Most of the time, unless it's one you have to put in the oven, the premade cookies are terrible.

There are a few store bakeries that make some, most or very rarely all of their nummehs to impressive standards.

Getting to know which ones are which is often a combination of word of mouth with trial and error.

I've never seen the Vietnamese cassia bark whole, so I get the ground stuff from Penzey's or Spice House and store it in the freezer.


Not Vietnamese, but Indonesian cassia.

I thought it was what one produced after ingesting too many Snickers

Starbucks used to have good snickerdoodles. Was one of the only cookies they got right. I don't know why, but they slowly disappeared around here (the cookies, not the Starbucks - there are more of those than ever), and now they are gone from all the local shops.

There is a bakery one town over, in Palo Alto (CA), that makes incredible snickerdoodles. The bakery is too crowded each morning, but they sell to the local independent coffee shops (of which there are many). Oh yes. Snickerdoodles are there to be had, for those of us who know where to look!

Thanks! After I saw that I went looking for the whole Vietnamese bark strips and found that the Spice House actually does carry it. And it's marginally less expensive than their ground cinnamon. I'm going to need a bigger microplane rasp....

I originally thought they were the small drawings one would find in the margins of MAD magazine ... Sergio Aragonés is the man!
