Snickerdoodle Cookies (gluten-free & dairy-free)

These Snickerdoodle Cookies are a healthier version of the classic but taste just as good, if not better! They are gluten-free, dairy-free, and made with simple ingredients.

To be honest, I probably made this recipe over 15 times trying to get these cookies absolutely PERFECT for you! First they were too cakey, then they were too crunchy, then they were too cakey again… the list goes on and on. I wanted them to be nice and soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside, and have just the right amount of that delicious and warming cinnamon sugar flavor!

I can offically say those 15 retests (give or take…probably give) were 100% worth it because I finally nailed THEE perfect gluten-free and dairy-free Snickerdoodle Cookies— I hope you love them!

Here’s what you need to make these Snickerdoodle Cookies:

  • coconut oil— don’t worry, you cannot taste coconut in these 🙂
  • sugar— I used organic raw sugar but any sugar will do!
  • 1 egg
  • vanilla extract— goes so perfectly with the cinnamon
  • gluten-free flour— I use bob’s red mill 1:1 baking flour (the blue bag!)
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar— optional but gives the tanginess of the classic snickerdoodles
  • cinnamon— I also like adding extra cinnamon on top of these cookies for extra flavor and to make them look pretty!
  • baking soda
  • sea salt
