Oh my, Snickerdoodles! This one brings back memories =) These were the cookies my mom always made. Don't see them around much anymore. Thanks for sharing the recipe...Makes me hungry for them again.

Speaking of Brown Sugar Kitchen..will you be participating with them in the Women of Taste for Girls Inc. in Sept? If so I hope we can run into each other as I will be there representing my place of employment.

SB, good to know about-- will see if I can make it possible... It would be lovely to meet you in person indeed! ~sfl

I grew up eating Snickerdoodles as it is the State Cookie for Connecticut. Mine don't turn out so flat which I like, will try them again. Thanks.

thank you for this entry!
after almost a year, my apartment construction finished last week. i finally took a deep non-sheetrock-dust-filled breath, opened my sexy new italian convection oven, and the first thing i made was several batches of snickerdoodles.
these take me back.
the method is simple and i like that they are crisp, chewy, and tender.

using Ceylon cinnamon from Rainbow's bulk section really sets the standard for cinnamon sugar.
but dont fear when i say i also messed with the original to make some cinnamon-variations.

i was inspired by another post in which you describe adding rosy cinnamon baharat to a B'steya.
the rose petals ground with the cinnamon sugar may have been sitting in my pantry too long, but a fresher mixture may have potential in the future.

another batch was rolled in a spicy Turkish baharat.
cinnamon was def the predominant flavor, but the mix of cardamom, coriander, clove, nutmeg, and fresh-dried turmeric was very yummy.

hooray for cookies baked in a convection oven!
