Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour or gluten free 1:1 baking flour
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, room temperature*
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp cinnamon
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Please read through all instructions before beginning.
- Prep: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Whisk the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar, then set aside.
- Cream together the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the sugar and softened butter until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Then add in the applesauce and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
- Make the cookie dough: Add in the dry ingredients, and use a silicone spatula to fold until the flour is just mixed into the dough.
- Chill: Place the snickerdoodle dough into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350F. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- Coat the snickerdoodle cookie dough: When you’re ready to roll the dough into balls, use a cookie scoop or your hands to form 1.5 tbsp sized dough balls. Roll one snickerdoodle dough ball in the cinnamon sugar or sprinkle it evenly around using a spoon. Place it onto the baking sheet and repeat for the remaining dough. You should get between 12 small cookies, depending on how big you make them.
- Bake: Place the cookies into the oven to bake for 8-10 minutes, or until spread and the tops are slightly puffy. Then remove from the oven and tap the pan lightly on the countertop several times again.
- Cool: Let them cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before enjoying to let the cookies set.
- Storage: Store on the countertop for up to 3 days, the fridge for a week, and the freezer for up to a month.
