Grain Free Snickerdoodles

Grain Free Snickerdoodles are soft, chewy cookies made with almond flour and coconut flour, replacing traditional grains. The dough is enriched with coconut oil or butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla for moisture and flavor. Rolled in a cinnamon sugar coating before baking, they develop a slightly crisp exterior with warm cinnamon notes. These cookies offer a gluten-free alternative to classic snickerdoodles, suitable for those avoiding grains but still craving a familiar cinnamon-spiced treat.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, add in melted coconut oil or melted butter, sugar, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Mix until well combined, smooth and creamy.
  3. Next add in almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Allow dough to sit for 5 minutes to thicken up while you make the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  4. While dough is sitting, mix together cane sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
  5. Use your hands to roll dough into 10 golf-sized balls, then roll each dough ball into cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated completely. Place each dough ball on prepared cookie sheet then flatten each with the palm of your hand so that they are about 1/4th inch thick.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack and allow cookies to cool completely. Makes 10 cookies.
