Soft and Chewy Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles
These gluten-free snickerdoodles made with almond flour are soft, chewy, and packed with cozy cinnamon flavor. Rolled in a sweet cinnamon-sugar coating, they're crisp on the outside and perfectly soft inside-without any gluten, grains, or refined flours. These cookies are easy to make and satisfyingly sweet!
What you'll need for gluten-free snickerdoodles:
- A stand mixer-I love the Kitchen Aid stand mixer, but if you don't have one, a hand mixer works perfectly well.
- A baking sheet- If you're looking for a great baking sheet I love the Caraway baking sheets! They're made of a nontoxic ceramic coating, so they're safe for you and your family!
- A silicone baking mat or parchment paper- I'm a huge fan of silicone baking mats!
- A spatula
- Measuring spoons and cups
Notes:
This may be an unpopular opinion... but if you don't have cream of tartar the gluten-free snickerdoodles will still turn out perfectly. They won't have the same tangy taste but they will be delicious! I have made snickerdoodles without cream of tartar many times and they are still yummy cookies!
