If you could only eat one cookie the rest of your life (and never taste another cookie)

RedAngie likes Snickerdoodles the best. It’s the first type of cookie she learned how to bake from scratch, back in 7th grade Home Ec. Ooops, pardon me, Domestic Arts.

That’s where she discovered what the heck Cream of Tartar is.

Recipe please!! I used to make my grandmother’s recipe but I’ve lost it and the internet lies.

I am having trouble deciding, but my family would pick the peanut butter kiss cookies I make at Christmas time.

Christmas Rummy Candie Cane cookie.

Cookie dough with chopped walnuts and pecans AND RUM shaped into a cane covered with vanilla icing then striped like a Barber Pole with red and green icing.

Best having at least 1 month resting period from time of completion to consumption.

Perfectly baked giant classic black and white cookie.

Need details - what is a black and white cookie? It sounds like it has potential...

Most are like the picture someone posted above, but a tiny bakery where I grew up did the same icing but made the cookie part chocolate and called them half moons. I loved them!!

My official answer to the question though, is Aldi's knock-off of Girl Scout Samoas:

All NY’s know this cookie well. My grandma (may she R.I.P.) always made the best ones in my opinion. My dad knows the recipe but still won’t give it to me yet (LOL). Here’s one I found online:

Omg- I’ve never made these- have only had bakery black and whites.

SNICKERDOODLES FROM Americas Test Kitchen

2 ½ cups (12 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
8 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 ½ cups (10 1/2 ounces) sugar, plus 1/4 cup for rolling
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon
ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt together in bowl.

Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat butter, shortening, and 1 1/2 cups sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed.

Reduce speed to low and slowly add flour mixture until combined, about 30 seconds. Give dough final stir by hand to ensure that no flour pockets remain.

Combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in shallow dish. Working with 2 tablespoons dough at a time, roll into balls, then roll in sugar to coat; measure and space 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. (Raw cookies can be frozen for up to 1 month; bake frozen cookies in 300-degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes.)

Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, with 8 cookies per sheet, until edges are just set and beginning to brown but centers are still soft, puffy, and cracked (cookies will look raw between cracks and seem underdone), 8-12 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack and let cool completely before serving.

Haven’t had a snickerdoodle in a long time. They are definitely a contender.
