Well, call me deprived, but I never had or heard of a snickerdoodle until I came
out to California and one of my friends here made them.  This is not for lack of
eating or baking cookies, mind.

I'll have to ask some fellow Texans if snickerdoodles were known (and I somehow
missed them).

Toll house cookies are a different story entirely...
