Gluten Free Snickerdoodles
Description
This recipe combines almond flour, oat flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and baking powder for a gluten-free base that leavens and flavors the cookies. Coconut sugar and maple syrup provide sweetness while coconut oil adds moisture and richness. Vanilla extract rounds out the flavor. The dough balls are coated in a cinnamon sugar topping before baking at 350°F until golden, creating a textured outside with cinnamon notes that contrast the tender interior.
After baking, the cookies cool to firm up slightly but stay soft and chewy inside. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a beverage of choice. The cinnamon sugar coating offers a lightly crisp exterior that complements the soft crumb.
Storage notes suggest keeping cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days, refrigeration for about a week, or freezing for up to two months. Thaw or warm briefly before serving to refresh texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 ¼ cup oat flour

- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ⅓ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup maple syrup

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper, set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients: almond flour, oat flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- In a separate shallow bowl, make your cinnamon sugar by stirring together the cinnamon and coconut sugar.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, measure out about 1 heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Roll each cookie dough ball into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten cookies slightly with your palm or the flat bottom of a glass. Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown.

- Store leftover cookies in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
