There seems to be a bit of a cookie frenzy in the air, or at least on the vegan blogosphere, thanks in large part to the lovely, cookie-wielding Céline of Have Cake, Will Tavel. I’m all about cookies. Who isn’t? (No, seriously, who isn’t, I want to know as they should perhaps not be trusted…).
One of my faves is the Snickerdoodle. See, I haven’t had one in, uh, I don’t know…a million years, because usually they are full of butter or hydrogenated shortening and well, that’s just, you know, gross. I received a new cookbook over the holidays and I was all excited about a Snickerdoodle recipe in said book because I thought that after long last the Snickerdoodle and the Shellyfish would be reunited.
I tried the recipe. Twice. It was, well, nasty-gross.
I was oh-so-disappointed, as was the entire Fish household, because I had maybe gone on just a little bit too much about how scrumptious the Snickerdoodles are. Then super-chef-extraordinaire Céline posted her becoming-more-famous-by-the-minute Snickerdoodle recipe, and I knew it was time to recreate the doodle-magic.
Me: Hey Guppy, do you want another Snickerdoodle?
Guppy: (laughing) They’re not sticky-noodles, Mumma, they’re cookies!
What is great about Ms. C’s Vegetarian Times recipe-redoux is that she created the perfect sized recipe for a small little school of fish like ours- there are only 3 of us, and so either we a) pig out on cookies as they are cooling because they are so difficult to resist and swear off cookies for a few weeks… or b) see “a”. So it’s OK to eat them all! Really, you can, don’t worry. I got about 8 cookies the first time I made them, and the second time I doubled the batch, which still only made about 14ish cookies. Perfect!
Why are you still reading? Click on the above link to Céline’s recipe already! Go, go, go!
you are sweeter than any cookie could ever hope to be, Shelly. j’adore les photos polaroid, en plus!

Ah, I feel like the only person who’s never tried snickerdoodles! Well, I have an eager nephew who would probably love ‘em!
Incroyable! (Okay, that’s almost as much French as I remember from immersion school, about a siecle ago!!) They do look fantastique.
I loooove Snickerdoodles, and I loooove Celine’s recipes – best of both worlds! :0)
Those cookies look so good! I am going to have to check out this blog pronto! Who can resist a vegan snickerdoodle? I know I can’t….
I know, I know! Isn’t this recipe great? The batch for the perfect size for my sister and I to split without gorging ourselves. Yours turned out beautifully, and Celine rocks.
I love your photos – you are so talented! & the one at top makes me happy… i love sprinkles
I have never had one, but if you don’t stop tempting me with this Snickerdoodle thing, I’m going to have to try it!
I don’t know the Snickerdoodle but you give me the desire to test the recipe (can I find some Snickerdoodle in France ?)
I have never made snickerdoodles….where have I been? And yes, Celine is a genius. As are you for making them!
I think I made Celine’s snickerdoodles. Of course all of her recipes are fantastic.
I saw your comment on my post about the flagolets. You know, I soaked those overnight. It seems that would be similar to the 15 minute boil (quick soak) you recommended. Maybe I just don’t like those beans.
