Snickerdoodles are a classic cookie. They are sugar cookies that are rolled in cinnamon sugar before being baked. Traditional snickerdoodles contain wheat flour and sugar, so they aren't necessarily the healthiest cookies. However, these snickerdoodles are gluten-free and made without refined sugar, so they are perfect for people with dietary restrictions. All in all, these cookies will be the best Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles you've ever tasted. For even more cinnamon flavor, serve with Cinnamon Tea.
 

What can I use instead of cream of tartar in snickerdoodles?

Lemon juice is the best replacement for the cream of tartar in snickerdoodles. It will give the snickerdoodles the same slightly tangy flavor that cream of tartar does.  
 

How many calories are in gluten-free snickerdoodles?

There are 35 calories in each gluten-free snickerdoodle cookie.
 

Why do my snickerdoodles get hard?

There are many reasons why snickerdoodles can get hard. For example, over-mixing the cookie dough can cause them to become hard. Additionally, baking the cookies too long can make them get hard. Slightly under baking them can prevent them from becoming hard and help them stay soft and chewy. 
 

Why are my snickerdoodles puffy?

Adding too much flour to the cookie dough can cause the snickerdoodles to come out puffy. When measuring flour, always scoop it into the measuring cup. Then level it using the back of a knife before adding it to the snickerdoodle cookie batter.
