Snickerdoodle Cookies

Snickerdoodle cookies are one of my very favorite treats, so I am especially excited to share this recipe! The recipe is completely gluten free and vegan, but the cookies still have the amazing texture of a traditional snickerdoodle! Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chickpea flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
  3. Add all dry ingredients (chickpea flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cream of tartar, baking soda, and sea salt) to a medium mixing bowl and whisk until fully combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients (maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract) to a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
  5. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir everything together using a spatula until you have a smooth batter.
  6. Add the coconut sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl and mix together.
  7. One piece at a time, scoop the batter out using a cookie scoop or spoon, roll into a ball, dip into the cinnamon sugar, place onto the cookie sheet, then flatten the dough a little bit with your fingers to shape the cookies (they don’t flatten out in the oven).
  8. Bake the cookies for 12 – 14 minutes (14 for larger cookies, 12 for smaller cookies or if you like doughier cookies).
  9. After removing the cookie sheet from the oven, let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack for about 10 minutes, then serv!
