Vegan snickerdoodles! They are my new favorite!
So simple, so good and so quick and easy to make!
They are very much like sugar cookies, just dressed up in a lot of cinnamon sugary goodness!
The trick to some good vegan snickerdoodles is that they need to be soft. So you definitely don’t want to bake them too long.
You also want them to be nice and thick, so don’t roll those balls too small. You want nice and thick, pillowy soft snickerdoodles.
So aim for around 20 cookies from your batch. If you get a couple more or a couple less that’s totally okay too.
How to make vegan snickerdoodles
Making these cookies is so quick and easy that once you’ve got the hang of these you’ll never need to buy cookies from the store again!
You just cream together some vegan butter and sugar. Add in some vanilla and apple cider vinegar.
Then in a separate bowl mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to the butter and sugar mix and mix in together (by hand, don’t use the electric mixer for this part).
It will be quite dry and crumbly at this point so now you add in a touch of soy milk (or other non-dairy milk as you like) to get it to perfect dough.
Roll into balls and roll the balls in cinnamon and sugar, bake for 10 minutes and you have perfect vegan snickerdoodles!
Really, if you decide right now you’d like some vegan snickerdoodles and have all the ingredients on hand, you could have a freshly baked batch in front of you in 25 minutes from now! Very tempting isn’t it?

That’s awesome! So glad you enjoyed them!
Followed the recipe exactly and these worked out perfectly. That perfect indescribable snickerdoodal taste! Do not be afraid of the crumbly texture! No need to add more milk or anything. I just scoop the crumbly bits together and rolling them makes them stick together. Perfect soft cookies! They keep quite nicely. Many thanks for an excellent recipe!!

I love that! Thanks so much Priscilla!
Great recipe! I don’t know if my oven is cooler than typical but I had to bake for 14 minutes so they weren’t too soft. Very tasty though! I also used 1/3 white and 1/3 light brown sugar

Ovens can differ a lot! So glad they were good! š
Everyone loves these cookies! Perfect Snickerdoodles!

Thanks Rebecca!
I love this recipe! I used Earth Balance, so I had to use quite a lot of milk to get cookie dough texture, but it didn’t taste watered down or anything. My oven doesn’t do too well above 350, so I baked them at 350. I prefer my cookies to be on the crunchier side, so that combined with the lower temperature, resulted in me baking for 19 minutes, which turned out the perfect texture. I of course made a double batch and got a lot of tiny cute lil snickerdoodles! The only thing is that mine didn’t look really like snickerdoodles, they were kind of bubbly with lots of little holes, but the texture and the taste was PERFECT, and i’m not one to judge a cookie on it’s look. I WILL be hiding these from the rest of my family š
