A combination of snickerdoodles and molasses crinkles, these Snickercrinkle Cookies have the texture of molasses crinkles (flat cookies that are crispy outside, but soft and chewy inside), and the flavor of snickerdoodles (buttery, cinnamon-y, and slightly tangy because of the cream of tartar).
Last holiday season I went to a cookie exchange. Before going, I knew that all the classic favorites would be there (like peanut butter kisses, frosted cut-out cookies, hello dollies, Russian tea cakes, jam thumbprints, and all kinds of fudge), but I wanted to bring something different. I searched online, in numerous cookbooks, and even in my mom’s recipe box, but I didn’t find anything that really called to me.
