Gluten Free Snickerdoodles

Gluten Free Snickerdoodles are soft cookies made from a blend of almond and oat flours and flavored with cinnamon. The dough is sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup and uses coconut oil for moisture. Each cookie is rolled in a cinnamon sugar mix before baking to form a crisp, cinnamon-coated crust. Once baked, the cookies maintain a tender center with a golden, slightly crisp exterior. This cookie recipe offers a gluten-free take on the traditional snickerdoodle with familiar warm spice and texture.

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.
