'The Joy of
Cooking claims that
snickerdoodles are probably German in origin, and that the name is a corruption
of the German word Schneckennudeln , a kind of pastry. A different
author suggests that the word "snicker" comes from the German word Schnecke,
which describes a snail shape. Yet
another hypothesis suggests that the name has no particular meaning or purpose and
is simply a whimsically named cookie that originated from a New England tradition
of fanciful cookie names.' (wikipedia)

...and how many of us have always thought they had something to do with the candy bar?? (raising a timid finger in shameful admittance)
