So excited for you to try these Gluten-free Snickerdoodles!

I am constantly asked for a snickerdoodle recipe and, as I didn’t grow up eating snickerdoodles and there are many amazing recipes already on internet,  I turned to my friend Nicky (a chef extraordinaire!) and asked if she had a snickerdoodle recipe she loved…. she did and is nice enough to let us share it here!

Nicky’s recipe is SO good! It’s based on Martha Stewart’s recipe and it’s perfect in my opinion!

It has crisp edges, a soft and chewy center and is basically cinnamon sugar dreaminess!

Plus… it’s a super EASY recipe!

So let’s make them!

There is a cooking video on this page so you can see how simple they are to make.

And as with all our recipes, there is a printable recipe towards the bottom of the page with exact measurements and directions.

Here’s what you’ll need…

Just 8 (mostly) pantry staple ingredients!

gluten-free all purpose flour (we use GF Jules– affiliate link)

cream of tartar (I used  Kate’s Naturals Amazon – affiliate link)

baking soda

salt

butter or dairy-free butter

sugar

ground cinnamon

eggs

Note: this shot is not the full quantity (this represents a half batch)

You may have noticed that we are affiliate for GFJules.  A great gluten-free flour is so important with gluten-free baking! To learn more about why we love GFJules flour and why we have used it for 10 years, click here.

Back to the Gluten-free Snickerdoodles..

And the batter comes together in 4 simple steps:

1. Cream the butter and sugar
2. Mix in the egg
3. Separately mix the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or whisk, or sift them.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mix and mix to combine.

At that point the dough will be a bit sticky and difficult to roll into balls, so let the batter chill for 1 hour.

When the hour is almost done, mix the sugar and cinnamon so that you can roll the dough in it.

Then roll the chilled dough into balls, then in the cinnamon sugar and bake!

That’s it!

10 Minutes later, you’ll have perfect soft & chewy snickerdoodles!

The recipe is so simple and the cookies soooo good!

Thanks again to Nicky for the recipe!

And if you don’t eat them all, they stay soft and chewy for days! Just store them in an air tight container.

Hope you love them as much as we do!
