Cakes, as we know them today, were added late to the list of New England desserts. The ginger cakes of colonial days were really round, flat cookies flavored with molasses and spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. They were either hard or slightly chewy, much like the gingerbread men that are still made today. There were also sugar cakes that were really round, flat sugar cookies. One type of New England sugar cooky went by the delightfully funny name of Conneticute snickerdoodles.

Ooooh! I don't know if they're different from colonial times, but I make Snickerdoodles occasionally. But they're more like a gingerbread/sugar cookie.
