Just had some from Fairway market in NYC which I liked. Would like something similar to that. Second, I'm interested in a snickerdoodle cooke recipe that has been tried, tested, and proven to be very yummy. I like mine to be somewhat thin and chewy, and crispy on top. Thanks in advance.

It's just what I need to thank one of my helpers -- she loves snickerdoodles. Two questions, for you or anyone who might know: How long do they keep in that airtight container? Can they be frozen? Can baking powder be substituted for the soda and cream of tartar? If so, how much? TIA... Thu Apr 24 20:43:46 -0700 2003 1597596 0 C. Fox 3 1597693 Actually, I'm not a very good baker. I cook but don't bake and am not good at cookies except for the snickerdoodles! I always had good luck with them. Don't know how long they keep in the airtight container - I never had them there longer than a week. But, yes, they can be frozen. They freeze well. Re: the baking powder substitution for soda and cream of tarter - sorry, I don't know. Maybe someone else does. Or "Joy of Cooking", "American's Test Kitchen", or "The Fanny Farmer Cookbook" might have a section on substitutions. Fri Apr 25 07:47:29 -0700 2003 1597669 0 Shoreliner
