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?
You will love these vegan snickerdoodles! They are:

Notes
*If you use a brand of vegan margarine that is very hard i.e. not a spread, then it’s possible that you’ll need to use a bit more non dairy milk, just use as little as possible.

Wow! These came out so good! They are soft and chewy. I replaced half the butter with unsweetened applesauce to cut some of the fat and they were excellent. Loving It Vegan recipes have not let me down yet 😎.

That’s awesome Rebecca, so pleased to hear that! Thanks so much for the wonderful review. 🙂
i made these with non hydrogenated shortening as i didn’t not have enough vegan margarine. i also used 2 tsp baking powder instead of the soda/cream of tartar. they puffed up but deflated when cooled to the perfect consistency. i also used 1/3 almond flour that was left over from baking for a gf buddy.
these came out moist and delicious. can not wait to make again!

Wonderful to hear they were a success and thanks so much for sharing your adjustments! 🙂
I made this recipe with I can’t believe it’s not butter spread, which was creamy enough that no milk product was needed. Great recipe!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing and the great review! 🙂
The best snickerdoodle recipe ever, declared by my family, extended family, my friend’s grandma, my sister’s coworkers, and many of my friends! And, get this, none of them are vegan! They are delightful, soft, pillowy, and stay that way for a whole week (if they don’t all get eaten before then).
I’ve made a few modifications, first starting with the butter and sugar. I cream it until it almost looks like frosting, and then I add the dry ingredients in two tablespoons at a time until all is added. Then next modification is that I add in about 4 tablespoons of plant milk (I used cashew). And, for the rolling, I use more sugar to cinnamon for a lighter looker.

Yay! That is the best compliment for these coookies! Thank you so much Cari! And thanks for sharing your adjustments too. 🙂
I tried this recipe yesterday! While they tasted great, I didn’t get the right consistency. They didn’t get soft and fluffy and didn’t flatten as good as the ones in your picture. Any ideas? Did I over mix the dough? I did use coconut milk instead of soy – otherwise followed the recipe. Thanks!
Hi Christina, I’m really not sure why they weren’t soft and fluffy, but puffy is generally good for snickerdoodles! If you want them to be flatter, you can press down with a fork before they go into the oven. 🙂
I just made these for the first time and they are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe…these will definitely be a regular in this house!
