Say hello to our new favorite holiday cookie: 1-Bowl Snickerdoodle Cookies that are vegan, gluten-free, and naturally-sweetened. Let’s bake! The base of these 1-bowl cookies — like most sugar cookies — is butter and sugar. However, we did some extensive testing with this recipe and discovered several things: Once your wet ingredients have been whipped, it’s time to add your dry ingredients. For optimal texture we went with: After a quick chill in the fridge, it’s time to roll these babies into balls. I love using this scoop to get roughly 1 ½ Tbsp amounts of dough. Then roll into balls and coat in cinnamon-sugar. While I preferred coconut sugar as the primary sweetener for the cookies themselves, I must say organic cane sugar makes the ideal coating for getting that sparkly, crystal-like appearance and a slightly sweeter / crispier edge. So, we highly recommend it for coating / rolling! Because vegan gluten-free cookies are structurally different than your average egg-butter-sugar-flour cookie, they sometimes need a little help in the shaping department, which is why we recommend rolling into balls and then pressing down with a glass. This encourages them to rise a little while still getting baked through the center. After a quick 10-12 minute bake in a 350 degree F (176 C) oven, they’re ready to enjoy! We hope you LOVE these cookies! They’re: Fluffy on the insideSlightly crisp on the outsideCinnamon-spikedPerfectly (& naturally) sweetQuick & easy to make& Super delicious These would make the perfect cookie this holiday season for snacking, evenings by the fire, or to share as gifts. While delicious on their own, they’re delightful with a cup of tea, glass of dairy-free milk (especially our DIY Oatly Barista Blend), or Chai Latte!
