Snickerdoodles (1898)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

This was transcribed as "snickerdoodies," but it is indeed  "snickerdoodles."
Who snickers at doodies?...I'll also post the full,  similar 1905 recipe
below (I had posted just the head notes).
...
I'm giving this and everything else everything away free to the Wikipedia
now, since no one reads my site anymore thanks to Google...Only one more week
until my "hot dog" work appears for free on the History Channel's "American
Eats."

Trixey B.--Is this what you want? I cut it out of the Globe some two years
ago:
...
Cream 3/4 cup butter and 1 cup of sugar, then add 2 well-beaten eggs, 3/4
cup of milk and 2 1/2 cups of flour sifted with 2 teaspoonfuls cream of tartar
and 1 teaspoonful of soda. Beat well, drop on buttered tin in spoonfuls,
sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and bake in quick oven.
