Ode to the forgotten cookie

I promised to bring dessert to a work cookout yesterday and, as usual, was scrounging around to figure out what ingredients remained in the cabinet before committing to anything specific. I didn't have enough marshmallows for Rice Krispie treats, so I made revel bars (you can never go wrong with an oatmeal and chocolate combination) and, on a complete whim, decided to make snickerdoodles.

I haven't made snickerdoodles since probably the seventh grade, when I made (and ate) them so often I got sick. At the time, they were my trademark. Eighteen years later, I impulsively decided to give them another whirl.

And that's how I discovered the forgotten cookie. People raved about them. (Personally, I thought they were too crunchy.) And, the best part...after five years of working here, I learned they are my boss's boss' favorite cookie. Talk about brownie points!
