The snickerdoodle cookie has a bit of a mysterious origin. The earliest recorded use of the word "snickerdoodle" dates back to 1889. Some sources suggest that the cookie originated in New England, where whimsical names for baked goods were common. Others believe it has German roots, with the name possibly derived from the German word "Schneckennudel," which means "snail noodles."
