We love flavored coffee around these parts, especially around this time of year. It’s the time of year to indulge, the time of year to gather around fires and coffee pots with friends and family, and there’s no better way to do that than with an extremely sippable cup of flavored coffee. One of our favorites to enjoy around the holiday season is our Snickerdoodle flavored coffee. Think of it, sweet and spicy cinnamon sugar covering a warm fresh from the oven cookie, there’s nothing better. Especially if you’re dunking it in a freshly brewed cup.
But how did snickerdoodle cookies come around? And who thought it would be a good idea to mix it with coffee? Which genius baker gave the world this wonderful treat? Who inspired our Snickerdoodle Flavored Coffee? That baker is the right honorable Dutch-German immigrant Ann Byrn in the 1891 cookbook American Cookie. But Ann was not alone in this culinary feat of deliciousness. The recipe had been shared with her by a local cooking teacher and writer named Cornelia Campbell Bedford. The original cookie was the shape of a bar and not a circle and seems to come (although this is disputed) from the German wood “Scheckennudel” which means “small noodle”. Those that dispute it claim that New Englanders just enjoyed saying fun words, and hey, we ain’t gonna knock a bit of fun. The cinnamon and sugar covered slightly vanilla cookie has been enjoyed by Americans for a century, and there’s no reason to quit now.
Our batch of holiday flavored coffees spans the coffee drinker’s imagination: Winter Wonderland, Frosted Cocoa, Gingerbread, Holiday Blend, Chocolate Orange, Sugar Cookie, Nutcracker, Eggnog, Gingerbread Cocoa, and of course Snickerdoodle. It’s one of our favorites around these parts, especially when there’s a chill in the air and snow in the driveway (we’ll see North Carolina!). Once you try it, it’ll be a favorite around your table as well. This holiday season try our Snickerdoodle flavored coffee.
