Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe

snickerdoodle cookie recipe

Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookie Recipe produces a cookie that is crisp on the outside (coated in coconut sugar & cinnamon) and chewy on the inside.

What are Snickerdoodles?

The ingredients in snickerdoodles are very close to the ingredients in sugar cookies with 2 main differences. The first is that traditional snickerdoodles contain cream of tarter which gives the cookie a tangy and chewy center. The second difference is that snickerdoodles, unlike sugar cookies, are coated in cinnamon and sugar before baking.

How do you make the perfect Snickerdoodle?

  • Start by whisking together dry ingredients; almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, cream of tarter, salt and cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl, combine butter, maple syrup and vanilla.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine with a wooden spoon.
  • Dough may look dry and crumbly. With clean hands, knead dough together until large ball of dough forms and stays together.
  • In a small bowl, combine coconut sugar and cinnamon.
  • Using hands, scoop dough and roll into small balls (about the size of a tablespoon, makes 24 cookies).
  • Roll cookie dough balls in cinnamon/sugar mixture and then place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (2 inches apart).
