It’s a fact. The people who say they don’t like snickerdoodles are always trying to sike you out. No one ever passes up a snickerdoodle! Buttery, cinnamon, sugar pillows of holiday cheer? It’s impossible to hate on a snickerdoodle. They may not be your #1 favorite cookie, but they are never scoffed at! Just like the ultimate; a classic chocolate chip cookie. If I recall correctly, the first time I had a fresh baked snickerdoodle was when I was in 7th (or 6th) grade! The year before celiac. An old friend of mine brought them over to out New Year’s Eve party, that I remember quite clearly!

I remember this was before I really learned how to bake, but I was so impressed and they were so good! (There was probably a gallon of butter in there!) I (and she) loved them so much that whenever we had one of our weekly sleepovers at her house, we would make a batch of homemade snickerdoodles at 1 o’clock in the morning. Effectively, yes, waking up her parents with the glorious smells coming from the oven!

Sadly, that summer everything changed and this girl was no longer eating snickerdoodles. I do remember enjoying quite a few of Enjoy Life’s soft-baked snickerdoodles after that! I had to appease my craving somehow! And of course, as the years passed and I became not only a cook but a baker, making some homemade snickerdoodles could happen yet again!

I could also healthify them of course along with making them gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, sugar-free, and oil-free. One thousand times better than the ones we made years ago! The classic snickerdoodle, being made of butter (or oil), sugar, and flour (in that order!) can still be made soft and fluffy, not to mention, Santa-approved! And snickerdoodles are that silly cookie recipe that uses cream of tartar, aka potassium hydrogen tartrate. It’s actually a byproduct from wine-making and is just used along with baking soda to help leaven and stabilize the cookie. It’s tasteless and actually quite unnecessary in our case.

Of course, we have to add it though. A snickerdoodle is just not a snickerdoodle without some cream of tartar (even if you don’t know it’s in there!) If you choose to leave out snickerdoodles for Santa, he will know, he knows everything! Then he’ll leave and not leave you any presents! A tragedy just waiting to happen! But don’t worry, that’s why I’m here to deliver you the best snickerdoodle recipe to make this year!

    I am really partial to “white” cookies. Sugar cookies, shortbread and snickerdoodles. I recently found a GF shortbread cookie mix that I love, but I have not found one for sinckerdoodles! I am now a happy girl! Thanks for sharing this, my family will love them too!

    Yum, yum, yum! Your snickerdoodles look and sound absolutely scrumptious! I want to whip up some of these beauties for my gluten free family members, who I know will FREAK OUT over them. 🙂 Because you’re right: Nobody will turn down a snickerdoodle!

    I am SO glad you said that about cream of tartar!! OMG, whenever I see a snickerdoodle cookie recipe without cream of tartar, I’m like, but it’s the cream of tartar that MAKES it a Snickerdoodle, otherwise it’s just a cinnamon cookie, haha! That’s like the very first thing I look for, and in fact, it is what gives it that distinct taste that is undeniable in a Snickerdoodle as well! Great recipe! I have a GF Snickerdoodle recipe I wrote that is going in a future cookbook as well!

      Exactly! When I think of snickerdoodle, I think of cream of tartar! It’s like a chocolate chip cookie without the chocolate chips! IMPOSSIBLE!

      I feel like Santa is going to get very spoiled this year 😉 So many cookies, so little time!!!
      (I did not bring my tigernut down to school with me :O But it’s been one of my favorites!)

    One of my favorite cookies!!!! Haha!! I actually know two people who say they don’t like Snickerdoodles and they’re reasoning…”they’re boring.” Can you believe it? I love the simplicity of snickerdoodles. The buttery, cinnamon-y, almost melt in your mouth deliciousness ? I’ve used tigernut flour twice (both to make pancakes) and I loved it! These look wonderful!

    I know it seems crazy, but I didn’t know about Snickerdoodles until I was an adult. I asked a kid for whom I was baking cookies what her favorite kind was, and she replied Snickerdoodles. I had to run and find a recipe. Ever since then, I’ve been smitten. Your version looks lovely.

    I adore snickerdoodles. I would say that I always thing of the Christmas sugar cookies with the icing that you make with your grandparents (or I did) first, then gingerbread, and then snickerdoodles are the year round version of gingerbread.
