How to Make Apple Butter Snickerdoodles
These cookies begin like any good fluffy cookie: with creaming (vegan) butter and sugar. Then we add vanilla extract and apple butter to round out the wet ingredients. If you haven’t already had the privilege of apple butter blessing your palette, allow us to introduce you to the ultimate fall spread! Apple butter is essentially apples that have been cooked down with warming spices into a caramelized, sweet spread filled with bold apple flavor. Hubba hubba! After the apple butter is mixed into the wet ingredients to achieve apple flavor in every bite, it’s time for the flours. Almond flour, potato starch, and arrowroot starch combine to make a light, cakey cookie that’s gluten-free and grain-free! A generous dose of cinnamon gives these cookies BIG snickerdoodle flavor while baking powder makes them fluffy and salt ensures balance. Then apple butter comes back into the picture again as we stir some in (briefly!) to create apple butter swirls throughout the dough. Cinnamon comes back, too, in the form of a cinnamon sugar coating just like you get on a classic snickerdoodle. One bite into these cookies and you’ll know it’s FALL! Once coated in cinnamon sugar, add the cookie dough balls to a baking sheet and press down to flatten. Transfer to the oven, and cookie time will soon be yours! We have a feeling you’ll LOVE these cookies! They’re:SoftCakeyApple-filledCinnamonyEasy to make& SO delicious! Though standouts on their own, these cookies would also be amazing paired with a cozy cup of chai, a glass of dairy-free milk, or crumbled over vanilla ice cream.
