Did Not Make Scones

Maybe it's an American thing, or a New England thing, but Nigella's "Snickerdoodles"* pretty much have nothing to do with what I know about snickerdoodles. I realize that particular cookie comes in a variety of forms—hard, soft, chewy, small, big, round, flat, rustic, smooth, cinnamon-y or not—but her formula seems odd, like it's missing an ingredient. Maybe. I'm not sure I made them correctly, and I keep reading the recipe over and over still (i.e., was I supposed to have to knead this dough?).

Anyway, they do taste a bit like baked doughnuts, of which she said they would, but seriously, these are not what I had in mind when I wanted to surprise D.J., a total snickerdoodle lover, 'cause she took the New York State 6th grade math test today.

She told me she might be late, though. Sounds like there may be some boy action brewing...

P.S. Oh, yes. Almost forgot. Bought the wine, and cinnamon for above! EDF Demerit count: 6
