    About these Vegan Gluten-Free Snickerdoodles:

    You know what? I really LOVE cookies of all varieties and 'tis the season for lots of cookies. I find myself getting more and more creative in this type of baking, gluten free vegan that is. I enjoy creating tasty treats that others can also enjoy.  Today the weather here is so windy I just hope I can finish this post before the power decides to go out, with the kids at school and hubby at work the house is amazingly quiet this morning with the exception of the cat snoring, yes I said the cat is snoring. LOL! 

    Snickerdoodles have always been a favorite of mine.  When I was a little girl my dad used to ask me to make him Snickerdoodles after dinner for his dessert.  I have very fond memories of baking as a child.  Enjoy these vegan gluten-free snickerdoodles!

    Choosing gluten-free flour for these cookies:

    King Arthur Measure for Measure or Pamela’s Gluten-Free Artisan Blend both make fabulous gluten-free baked goods. If you're making your own blend, use gum free baking binder instead of xanthan or guar gum.

    Why do you add cream of tartar in snickerdoodles?

    Cream of tartar does a few things for snickerdoodle cookies. It makes the cookies chewy, because it keeps the sugar in the dough from crystalizing. The cream of tartar also acts as an additional leaving agent, which gives some fluffiness, and adds a bit of tang to the dough as well.
