ILC is for COOKIES.

Every time I make Snickerdoodles (house favorite cookie), I get to wondering: why do they call for cream of tartar? I don't think I've ever read a snick-dood recipe where it didn't have cream of tartar to make 'em puffy, and I've never seen cream of tartar in a recipe that wasn't for the snix. Anyone know the story behind this?

there are only two people in my apt and we don't want to eat 5 dozen cookies in a few day's time.

sez you.
