After a long ride home from Ohio, I must apologize for the late post....
When I discovered I could no longer enjoy a snickerdoole, I went on search of a cookie that had a similar texture/taste to the dough (cream of tartar). I ran into a cookie at an exchange one year that made it's way to my take-home container BUT I did not know who brought it and the thought of asking 75 different people was just too daunting.... So, I searched high and low and finally settled on combining a few recipe to get to this. It is a lemon-lime zest cookie (you could use orange zest). I personally think it is fabulous. I have named them Kris Kringle's Krinkles.
I hope today found you hustling and bustling with Holiday Cheer. Only one more cookie to go! Hint: Tomorrow is Santa's favorite!
