How to make vegan snickerdoodle cookies
Making these vegan snickerdoodle cookies are like the original. You’ll need to allow these to chill in the fridge for a bit to allow them to firm up. Here’s how to make them:
What is a snickerdoodle?
A snickerdoodle is a type of cookie made with flour, butter, and sugar. Then it’s rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture to give the cookie a nice coating after it’s baked.
The snickerdoodle cookie is based off the German word Schneckennudel which is a German pastry whose name translates as ‘snail noodle’. This is a claim from the 1931’s Joy of Cooking book.
A Schneckennudel is a yeast dough roll that more closely resembles a cinnamon bun, not a snickerdoodle cookie.
Sugar Cookie vs. Snickerdoodles?
Sugar cookies and snickerdoodle cookies are very similar. Snickerdoodles traditionally contain cream of tartar which gives the cookie their iconic slightly tangy flavor.
How do I substitute cream of tartar for snickerdoodles?
As I shared above, cream of tartar gives the snickerdoodle its traditional tangy taste and adds to the chewiness of the cookie.
If you want to make snickerdoodles without cream of tartar, you can substitute the cream of tartar AND the baking soda with 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
Why won’t my snickerdoodles flatten?
If your snickerdoodle cookies don’t flatten that probably means that you added too much flour to the cookie dough. Also, try flattening the cookie before it bakes.
How to store snickerdoodles?
Store your vegan snickerdoodle cookies in an air-tight container for up to a week.
