Etymology

Snickerdoodle has an uncertain history. A helpful way to remember it is to think of snicker 'a quiet laugh' and doodle 'a small, playful drawing', so the name feels like a fun, homey word for a soft cinnamon-sugar cookie. Some people also link it to the German Schneckennudel 'snail noodle', a cinnamon pastry, and that image also fits the sweet, rolled idea.
