Cookie Prep
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and pre-heat oven to 350°F ( 176°C).
Yields about 12 cookies (small batch, big flavor!)
MAKE THE COOKIE BATTER…
- Whisk together flour, cream of tartar (or 1 1/2 tsp of lemon juice or vinegar), baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together butter (or melted, cooled coconut oil), egg and vanilla. Once blended, stir in Big Tree Farms Organic Vanilla Coconut Sugar.
- Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, stirring until combined.
- Chill cookie dough in bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes.
AND NOW FOR THE TOPPING…
- Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until completely combined and no lumps remain.
LET’S GET THESE DOODLES IN THE OVEN…
- Remove dough from the fridge.
- Using a spoon and spatula, drop a small amount of dough into the coating, rocking the ball back and forth to fully cover in this luscious cinnamon sugar (DON’T TOUCH THE DOUGH UNTIL IT’S COVERED!).
- Once coated, roll the dough into a ball or cylinder depending on whether you want a thinner or thicker cookie (see NOTES below).
- Place on prepared baking sheet – For thinner cookies, gently flatten your dough on the sheet).
- Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 9-11 minutes.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Eat ’em up!
NOTES
SIZE OF SNICKERDOODLE IS A VERY PERSONAL DECISION…
- For THICK Snickerdoodles, use 6 TBSP of Big Tree Farms Organic Vanilla Coconut Sugar
- For SLIGHTLY THICKER Snickerdoodles, use 7 TBSP of Big Tree Farms Organic Vanilla Coconut Sugar
- For THINNER Snickerdoodles, add 2 tsp of room-temperature milk (any kind) at the same time as the vanilla extract.
LIKE A ROLLING STONE…
- For THICKER Snickerdoodles, roll the dough so that it’s taller than it is wide (think: cylinder).
- For THINNER Snickerdoodles, roll the dough into balls and flatten them slightly before baking
PUT A COAT ON…
- This will be a sticky situation and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be – these Doodles will be beautifully pillowy and chewy. To manage this situation, do not touch the cookie dough until it’s covered in the cinnamon sugar mixture – the coating acts like a barrier and prevents it from sticking to your hands.
