The whys and where-fores of Snickerdoodles (about cookies)

So, I guess if you took Cheetos (crunchy corn puffs) and flavored them like Snickers instead of with cheese, they’d be Snicker doodles.

Makes sense to me.

not just a cinnamon sugar cookie—that slight tang of cream of tartar instead of just generic baking powder

The only reason I have cream of tartar in the cupboard is to make snickerdoodle’s. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another recipe that called for it.

Meringue. Almost every meringue recipe calls for it.

Now that you mention it, I have never made a meringue.
