Ingredients
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
  • ¼ cup organic granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
For the Cookie Dough
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ cups organic granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk (room temperature)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Make the coating by stirring the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.

  3. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

  4. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and almond extract together with an electric mixer at high speed for 2 minutes, until creamy.

  5. Beat in the milk, just until fully incorporated.

  6. Begin adding the flour mixture to the butter mixture, about 1 cup at a time, beating in each addition at low speed until fully incorporated.

  7. Once all the flour has been added, the mixture should form a soft dough. Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon to measure out heaping tablespoons, shaping each one into a ball and rolling it in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.

  8. Arrange the dough balls on the baking sheets, with at least 2 inches of space between them.

  9. Bake the snickerdoodles for 11 to 14 minutes*.

  10. Transfer the baking sheets to a cooling rack and allow the cookies to cool and fully set for a few minutes before removing them from the baking sheets.

  11. Serve immediately or let them cool completely before placing them in a sealed container.

Recipe Notes

*Baking for 11 or 12 minutes should yield softer cookies, while baking for 13 or 14 minutes should give you crispier cookies.
