This Easy Snickerdoodle Pie is so easy and delicious! Can be whipped up in just a little bit of time!
I’m gonna gripe.
If you don’t want to hear it, please fast forward to the tasty recipe below.
If you’re on-board to listen to my diatribe, please carry forth.

Annoying facebook posts.
You know the ones.
Here are some that top my “please pierce my eyes out with skewers rather then make me read them” posts…

“Made homemade cinnamon rolls AGAIN for my kids..guess I am a creature of habit”
Gag. We get that you are trying to convince people you are Mother of the Year, or you know what? maybe you are…but please, my kids are sitting here eating Lucky Charms and quite happy. Plus, Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are seriously delicious..save yourself the yeast.
“Woo hoo! I am now down to my high school weight…love the gym!”
Double gag. I certainly can’t speak for everyone, but I know that I don’t give 2 shakes how much you weigh. Stop bragging about loving the gym. The gym sucks, we all know it.
“Having a bad day…”
PLEASE, just come out and say WHY you’re having a bad day…it’s obvious you want people to ask, so spit it out, because, trust me on this…I’m NOT going to inquire further.
Any random song lyric.
No one thinks your cool because you quote The Rolling Stones.
I MIGHT think you’re cool if you quote Vanilla Ice, but no one seems to do that.

“My husband is cheating on me.”
Dude, TMI. While I agree that he should be put on blast, not sure that facebook is the correct forum. Just sayin’.
or the most annoying…
Updating the world with EVERY THING YOU DO…
example…“Just got home from work…”, “What to eat for dinner?”, “Gonna watch some TV now”, “Great show”, “Sleepy now, going to bed”
Don’t need to know everything.
Now, beyond all THAT I really enjoy facebook.
I like seeing pictures and keeping in touch.

Plus, there are some fantastic foodies on there with inspiration abound!

I love this! I can imagine how fantastically yummy your house smelled while it was making/baking! Mmmm! 😀
My worst FB offender is my sis-in-law. Every day it's the same ol' "*sigh* What more can go wrong?"-type of post, and she wants EVERYONE to comment and ask what's up. STABBITY!
So funny!! This is the next dessert I am making it looks so yummy!!
Debbie ~
thanks for the catch! Yes, another 1/4 cup butter is needed for the batter..I changed the recipe!
Thanks so much!!!!
very funny post. I have such a love/hate relationship with FB. gotta look at it often but I hate that I do. I am all about anything snickerdoodle. I'll be making this soon!!
So…if I make this yummy looking pie/cake/cookie and share it on facebook (because there's no way I'd share in real life bwahaha) you don't want me to post "made snickerdoodle pie today" LOL Instead I will post how I loathe the gym and rather spend my time baking (and eating) 🙂 I will include a photo of said pie taken close up…not in front of my bathroom mirror, from way up high, at a slight angle. 😉 All the while singing along with Vanilla Ice.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love your blog and your attitude. It's so real life. I love it!
I love your pet peaves! I share many of the same ones!
Question on the recipe: I was thinking of making this today and I saw that you call for 1/4 cup butter in the syrup and the batter, but the list only has 1/4 cup softened butter. Is the ingredient list wrong, or is it not supposed to be in the syrup?
Seriously, are we friends with the same.exact.people? My real favorites are the people who quote every single sentence their children say. Yes, we get it…all of our kids talk. I'm not really that cynical…but seriously?
That pie looks like something super amazing that I would stuff in my face while reading those annoying posts. It would totally ease the pain of those skinny girl posts! 🙂 Thanks for the laughs today!
The people who post picture after picture of themselves, that they took. All of them have the same pose holding the camera out above them (my theory is this makes them look thinner because the gym DOES suck)usually one hand on the hip (if full body)and their head tilted to the side. ENOUGH already. I'm sure we know what you look like. Ok..done ranting…
I had to laugh, I had a friend quote Vanilla Ice yesterday!!!
I LOVE this! Everything you said about Facebook posts is EXACTLY what I think!! lol : ) Lovin this scrumptious dessert too! YUM
