Talk:Snickerdoodle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dutch tradition? Not in the Netherlands! :-)
I live in the Netherlands and honest, I never heard of Snickerdoodles until an friend of mine that lives in the U.S. wrote me about it - which made me Google for Snickerdoodles. It is definitely not a traditional Christmas cookie here! :-)
- I will remove that line. Someone changed it - It used to say that they were a traditional Christmas in the United States, a statement which I think is also false - at least here in New England. Alcinoe 08:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

This is just a recipe, which wikipedia purports not to be for!!
- You're right about this article as it stands. I believe it has potential for expansion into an encyclopedia article (as soon as I can find some references), but in its current state there's not much to it. I would just ignore it as harmless until it is expanded, but if you really think it should be deleted you can nominate it at WP:VFD. -Aranel ("Sarah") 12:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
why would an encylopedia article for a "major" cookie like the snickerdoodle not include a recipe? Wouldn't that be like an article on water that forgot to mention H2O? While wikipedia doesn't want to get filled up with silly recipes, a recipe serving as a definition of an important cultural icon should be acceptable.
[edit] contradiction?
How do we know it's a "creation of nineteenth century New England," if the article then goes on to say that "An interesting side of the snickerdoodle’s history is that the recipe for the cookies cannot be found in any 18th-19th century American cookbook." Joyous | Talk 02:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The recipe will be removed
Per Wp:not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information point 4, recipes are not appropriate for a wikipedia article. The recipe will be transwikied to wikibooks cookbook, at which point it will be removed from this article. --Xyzzyplugh 14:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey all you Snickerdoodle fans
