Oooo! Snickerdoodle bars sound delicious. Love that you included the difference between sugar cookies and snickerdoodles. I always wondered.

I'm sure I've made Snickerdoodles, but I can't remember when. I think I'll have to go out and buy some fresh Cream of Tartar just to get that tang--last time I used it was probably in Home Ec class when I was 13! These sound just perfect for the holidays--any of them--or just for dipping in a mug of coffee or tea.

Definitely trying the Flapper Pie version, but also curious to try the 1892 bar cookie version, too. Do the cups mean the standardized cup measures we have now? Btw Shauna Sever offers a fabulous frosted snickerdoodle bar in Midwest Made. Worth the calories. 😀

I believe so, Annette, but I will research. Love Shauna Sever!

I didn't mean to give you more work! 😀 Over the years, confused friends and family in the UK have consulted me about American recipes. Since very old British recipes sometimes call for teacups of, say, milk or flour, they assumed that this was what US recipes meant, and were gobsmacked by the idea that a powerful industrialized nation uses such vague measurements! I must say, though, I'm happy to see the dreaded grams finally making their way into our consciousness over here . . . Thanks so much, Jolene!

oh no you didn't! Snickerdoodles are #4 in my favorite cookie and somehow I never baked them. Going to do it now!

Thank you, Amy, and also thank you for putting me on to the Food & Wine pumpkin variety!
