A coworker brought some cookies she had baked to work. When I first saw the pale blond-colored round cookies covered in cinnamon sugar, my first thought was that she had brought in biscochitos. Then I remembered that I no longer live in New Mexico and probably don’t work with anyone who has had biscochitos, much less would have a recipe for them. (And let’s be honest, they’d all freak out at a cookie recipe calling for lard.) I realized that it was far more likely that these were snickerdoodles, and that I will now continue wanting a specific cookie that I’m simply not going to get.
I still ate a cookie though, because, are you kidding, free snickerdoodle.
