Due to a misunderstanding when asking what was on a certain plate of cookies, I grew up thinking that "snickerdoodles" actually referred to the chocolate (or butterscotch) and choy mein noodle concoction known as "Haystacks" in many places. I finally got it straightened out, but I had them wrong for so long that thinking about snickerdoodles always makes me want haystacks.

Butterscotch haystacks.

Oh yes.

One of the things I got for Channukah this year was a bag of fresh nutmeg and the tiniest little triangular grater ever, because my nearest and dearest know exactly how fond I am of putting it in everything. (Particularly mashed potatoes and cookies.) So I absolutely approve of this recipe (and think it might be superior to the one I have. Must make and taste test.)

Sal wears one of those on a chain.

I think she may have lied a little about the temperature, as mine came out crunchy. They're not supposed to be crunchy.

Hmmm.

This will require some forensic analysis, I think. My sister is a tricksy beast.

This sounds like a remarkably pleasant recipe, but it is probably not one of the ones that can be baked using a toaster oven. Ah, well. ~sighs~

Ooo, perhaps my favorite Maenad and I will have to try that recipe. Alas, it will have to be sometime after New Year's, as I just left her behind on the left coast, and when I get back I shall be immediately plunged into a mad frenzy of getting the restaurant ready to open on the 30th. But at some point, we'll try it.
