I have more on snickerdoodles:

I polled my cookie-baking and cookie-eating friends.  My Connecticut friend said
she had never heard of snickerdoodles until someone in college made them for
her.  My friend who grew up in California and Illinois was well aware of them in
childhood (her mom, the snickerdoodle baker, was raised on a farm in Illinois).

As I said, I never heard of them in Texas and Connecticut.

But, one of my friends found this site, which has some interesting info:

http://www.sun-maid.com/doodles.html

The Sun-Maid site claims they used to be called Jolly Boys, Tangle Breeches and
Kinkawoodles in the 19th century.

Food for thought (or would that be "Just desserts"?)
