GF/DF Snickerdoodles
Nothing says the holidays to me like a good old-fashioned snickerdoodle cookie. Super-simple to make, our version is both gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients:
-
¼ cup granulated sugar or sugar-in-the-raw
-
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
-
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
-
½ cup vegetable shortening
-
½ cup dairy-free “butter, softened
-
2 eggs
-
2 ¾ cups gluten-free 1-to-1 flour blend
-
2 tsp cream of tartar
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ¼ cup of sugar with the cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the 1 ½ cups of sugar, shortening, and butter together. Add the eggs and beat again until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Shape the dough into ¾ inch balls. Roll the balls in the reserved cinnamon sugar. Place the sugared dough balls on the prepared cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the centers of the cookies are almost set. Cool for at least 1 minute on the cookie sheet before moving the cookies to a wire rack. Cook completely for about 30 minutes before eating. (Hang in there, it’s hard to resist their delicious aroma!)
Makes about 48 cookies.
