Gluten-Free Snickerdoodle Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups gluten-free flour blend or your favorite GF flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter or refined coconut oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 large egg or egg substitute
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For rolling:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling.
  • Shape the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
  • Place the coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart.
  • Flatten each cookie slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
