Snickerdoodle Homemade Marshmallows

Snickerdoodle Homemade Marshmallows have the delicious flavor of snickerdoodle cookies with the wonderful texture of a marshmallow. They are great to add to hot cocoa.

If you’ve been around the blog this year, you’ve seen that I’ve posted a bunch of marshmallow recipes. They are so easy to make and so fun to make different flavors. I’ve had fun being creative with them.

We’ve got a bunch of different flavors. And I’m sure more are coming.

Recipes for Homemade Marshmallows Varieties

So many great marshmallow flavors!

Lucy’s favorite cookie is Snickerdoodles. So I decided to try snickerdoodle homemade marshmallows. I dusted them two different ways and had people taste test them. I dusted them like I do the other marshmallows with powdered sugar and cornstarch. I also dusted them with granulated sugar and cornstarch.

The consensus is the granulated sugar gives them more the texture of snickerdoodles. And most people liked that better. You can dust them whichever way you prefer.

Snickerdoodle cookies are thought to be of Dutch-German origin. They were baked in the shape of a snail. The Joy of Cooking suggests that the name Snickerdoodle comes from a distortion of the German word Schneckennudeln which means snail dumpling. 

When reading about the origin of Snickerdoodles, it being called a snail dumpling didn’t make sense. But after reading further and discovering that they baked them in the shape of a snail made much more sense. 

While snickerdoodle cookies are round, I chose to cut my marshmallows in cubes. So no snail shapes for these. But they do have the wonderful flavor of snickerdoodles.

Excellent! Super snickerdoodly. At Christmas time I like to add a bit of nutmeg to my snickerdoodles so I tossed a bit in. Delicious! Thanks for this recipe.
