These gluten-free snickerdoodle cookies are soft, tangy, and rolled in a warm cinnamon-sugar crust, offering the classic flavor without the wheat.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until well incorporated.
  5. If your kitchen is warm, chill the dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading.
  6. Scoop 1½ tablespoon balls of dough and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar coating.
  7. Place the dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, measure flour correctly and chill the dough if your kitchen is warm. Use parchment or a silicone mat for even baking.
