A lesson in you get what you pay for?
My son once made cookies that were worse because he thought baking powder, flour, and powdered sugar were interchangeable since they were all white and powdery.
At least my son's cookie catastrophe was chewable, if not tasty. These "snickerdoodles" were neither. Granted, I don't have extremely strong hands, but I could not break them.
After pounding one with handle of a spoon, I popped a piece in my mouth. Big mistake. The taste was somewhere between cinnamon dust and cinnamon sawdust. The texture wasn't that good.
You can chew sawdust.
Wood has moisture.
Dust is soft.
The box says "original recipe". I suggest this company update theirs to appeal to modern tastes, though I can't imagine these appealing to anyone of any era. They could start with the one I use.
Even the military doesn't issue hardtack anymore.
