Christmas Cookies

The Snickerdoodle has the best name in the cookie species. Most cookies are named after their primary ingredient – sugar, chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter, etc. Each of them depends on their food class being their last name. You can just say, “sugar.” You have to say, “sugar cookie.” Likewise chocolate chip, peanut butter etc.

But the Snickerdoodle stands apart in the cookie world. You don’t have to say, “Snickerdoodle cookie.” If you say, “Snickerdoodle” you know it is the cookie. You don’t wonder if it is just an ingredient you know it is the finished product.

The Snickerdoodle is also special because the name is not just a bland description of what it is made out of. That name doesn’t tell you anything about the ingredients.

So here is hats off to the Snickerdoodle.
