Snickerdoodle Love



Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies. When I found out about my food allergies, I knew I had to find a way to make them without dairy and eggs. I used this recipe but used some suggestions I found on the recipe page to make them vegan. I substituted Earth Balance for the butter and egg replacer for the eggs. I also used baking powder in place of the tarter and the baking soda. The result was amazing. If you don't tell anyone, they would never know these were vegan!

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, mixed with1/4 cup sugar

Directions:
Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in eggs, one at a time.
Mix dry ingredients together, and mix into butter mixture.
Roll teaspoonsful of dough into balls.
Roll in cinnamon-sugar.
Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Flatten slightly if desired.
Bake for about 10 minutes at 375 degrees F or until very lightly browned.
Cool, and store in a tightly covered container.

  12. Cute Valentine's Day background.

    Snickerdoodles are great!

    You know, you should try baking with olive oli. I've been doing it a lot lately and it's really good and dairy free! I also use flax + water for eggs.

  29. The best vegan food is food that doesn't taste vegan!

  30. And they're flat too! Big and flat. Love that compared to the rounder, thicker versions. We're not vegan, but surely we couldn't tell a difference...as long as it's tasty!

  36. Snickerdoodles bring back fond memories of high school - I used to eat a gigantic one every week with my family when we ordered out from a specific restaurant! I'm glad you are still able to enjoy them the vegan way!
