Here are some Snickerdoodles recipes. I'm not sure exactly what it
does, but cream of tartar is involved in all snickerdoodles. They
just aren't SDs without it.

You're very welcome. They're one of my all-time favorite cookies, but
I don't think my mom ever made them, and I never did until a couple
years ago. Go figure!

<Great Recipes snipped>

The cream of tartar reacts with the baking soda to give the cookies the
right amount of "lift"

You'll notice in all the recipes the ratio of 2 parts cream of tartar to 1
part baking soda.

This of course causes a gas to form and give a certain amount of "rise" to
the snicker doodles.

Usually (not always) the denser the mixture the more you need baking soda as
opposed to baking powder although quite often both are used together.

I'd never heard of them until my DD was maybe a third grader.

They're not just sugar cookies with cinnamon on them. They're a whole
'nother animal. Try 'em!

They're simple and delicious. It would be a nice addition to your
blog - hint hint. They need a good publicist. LOL! I guess the
cinnamon industry isn't as proactive as the chocolate chip industry.
