Description

These Vegan Snickerdoodles are a pillowy soft and cinnamon sugar-coated treat! They’re easy to make, chewy, thick, and loved by kids and adults.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups All-purpose flour*
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, partially melted (about 75% melted)

  • 1/2 cup mashed overripe banana*

  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 teaspoon unsulfured molasses (fancy molasses)

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon + 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling cookie dough balls)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl mix together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside.

  2. To a large mixing bowl add the wet ingredients: vegan butter, sugars, vanilla and molasses and whisk until combined.

  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until combined. Do not overmix. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  4. Using a small cookie scoop (1.5 tablespoons) roll the dough into balls. Coat each ball in the cinnamon sugar mix and place evenly on the baking sheet.

  5. Bake for 10-11 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack and enjoy! Makes approx. 24 cookies.
