noun

ˈsni-kər-ˌdü-dᵊl How to pronounce snickerdoodle (audio)

plural snickerdoodles

: a cookie that is made with usually butter, sugar, and flour and that is rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking

Word History

Etymology

probably a fanciful coinage, from snicker entry 2 + doodle "doodlebug" (though without clear semantic connection to either word)

Note: An alternative etymology derives the word from Palatinate German dialect Schneckennudel, Scheckennurel, Schleckenu^rrl "sweet pastry made from yeast dough twisted into a spiral" (from Schnecken "snail" and Nudel "dough in various forms"), with variants in other dialects (Baden, Swabia, Saarland). However, none of these words appear to have surfaced in 19th-century American English, and early attestations of snickerdoodle do not suggest a German-American connection.

First Known Use

1889, in the meaning defined above
