Butter flavored cookies sprinkled with cinnamon. Original recipe. Q: Have you ever wondered where Snicker Doodles came from? A: Honestly, no one's quite sure. The rumor around here is that the name comes from the word Schneckennudein, and the recipe was brought to this country by Dutch & German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania.

Made in USA.
