The Joy of Cooking<\/em>claims that snickerdoodles are probably German in origin, and that the name is a corruption of the German word Schneckennudeln<\/em>, which means “snail noodles.”[3]<\/a><\/sup> A different author suggests that the word “snicker” comes from the Dutch word snekrad<\/em>, or the German word Schnecke<\/em>, which both describe a snail shape.[4]<\/a><\/sup> Yet another hypothesis suggests that the name has no particular meaning or purpose [5]<\/a><\/sup> and is simply a whimsically named cookie that originated from a New England tradition of fanciful cookie names.[6]<\/a><\/sup>There is also a series of tall tales about a hero named “Snickerdoodle” from the early 1900s which may be related to the name of the cookie.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

1 box cake mix (yellow, vanilla, french vanilla, classic golden vanilla – I have decided it doesn’t matter)
\n1 teaspoon of Vanilla
\n1\/3 cup of vegetable oil (in an attempt to be more healthy I try to split this with olive oil)
\n1\/2 cup of sugar + 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to roll the dough balls in<\/p>\n

\"_IGP7612a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.\u00a0 In a mixing bowl stir together all ingredients except the cinnamon and sugar until a dough is formed.\u00a0 Shape the cookies into 1″ balls, I used my cookie scoop<\/a>.
\n\u00a0
\n\"_IGP7615a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Roll in the sugar and cinnamon mix and place on baking sheet with room for them to expand.\u00a0 I place ~12 on a 12×18 baking sheet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"_IGP7617a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.\u00a0 Remove from the pan and let cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
