Who invented snickerdoodle cookies?
While there is no agreed-upon inventor of the snickerdoodle cookie, nor is there any substantial evidence proving its primary inventor, many food historians have come to believe that the snickerdoodle cookie originated in New England and was passed down into American culture over the course of time. According to John F. Mariani, author of Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, the snickerdoodle is a cookie of English descent that was originally in the form of a small, easily-assembled cake filled with nuts and fruit.
