Four years ago I began playing bass drum for Prairie Thistle Pipes and Drums. When I started college without a car, I needed rides to and from practice, so I sent out an email to the band, asking if anyone would be willing to pick me up on Tuesday nights. The man that would two years later become my husband was the first to offer. This began a great friendship that was deeply rooted in long, thoughtful conversation. Sometimes these talks would last way past the end of band rehearsal, but neither one wanted to end the night's conversation. So, as the days past, the friendship grew and mutual feelings developed. Although both were very outgoing, both were reluctant to express feelings in a more direct manner.
During one of these conversations in May of 2008, the subject of cookies was brought up. I offered to make cookies for David's birthday, if he would tell me when his birthday was. Although cookies were a strong motivation to divulge this information, he stuck to his guns and would not tell me his birthday. I decided that more covert measures needed to be taken and it just so happened that a conversation one night with a neighborhood cop produced the needed information.
So on Friday, May 30, 2008 I made cookies for the birthday boy and suggested we go to dinner to celebrate. It was later that night on a very, very, very long walk around my small hometown that we finally opened up and the rest is history! Of course, the cookies were snickerdoodles and even though he doesn't have a favorite cookie (he likes them all) snickerdoodles were ones he mentioned he liked. So, in honor of this historic event (for us anyway), here is the snickerdoodle recipe. Hope you didn't mind the rambling.
