Too many snickerdoodles

Is there such a thing? I am realizing that there is.

It depends on your location and the quality of the snickerdoodles. Mrs. Z makes a superior snickerdoodle and they don't last long enough for there to be too many.

I think it more likely that, at any given moment, there are not enough snickerdoodles.

Do you mean eating too many during one snacking session, or having too many in the house?

I found out the hard way, too. I love snickerdoodles and for that reason, don't make it very often

Thanks case, i'll give it a go, but I'll need Sundae's help translating the cups to English measures and is "shortening" fat of some sort (lard? marge? butter?). Cinnamon. I like Cinnamon . that's what attracted me to Snickerdoodles in the first place ...

Shortening is like...lardish, I guess. Crisco? Do you guys have that over there?

Here's some info:
