These crackle-topped, cinnamon-scented sugar cookies were a favorite of late 19th century “Hoosier” poet James Whitcomb Riley, and snickerdoodles are served to tourists every year on October 7, his birthday, at his home in Greenfield, Indiana. Snickerdoodle cookie recipes, including the one Ginger's mom used to make, often contain only vegetable shortening (which helps give snickerdoodles their distinctive crunch) but our recipe for snickerdoodle cookies includes butter for better flavor.
