Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookies are so good they melt in your mouth.
Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookies Are So Good, No One Will Realize They Are GF!
Unless you want to eat all these cookies yourself, don’t tell anyone they are gluten free. Why do I say that? Because whenever I announce that something is gluten free, people say, “Oh.” And then they won’t even try them. Trust me, these don’t taste gluten free.
These Snickerdoodles are super scrumptious.
Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookies, ready to bake. Make them about 2″ in diameter and place them about 2″ apart. Each cookie sheet will hold 15 cookies, 5 rows of 3.
Snickerdoodles cooling: The cookies should flatten out and get a nice crinkle in the outside crust.
Snickerdoodle cookies are a typical cookie that Americans make. It’s one of the first cookies kids learn to make on their own, right after Chocolate Chip Cookies, the all-American favorite. That’s because the recipe is so simple. Mix the dough (and, really, you could dump it all in and mix it, and they would probably still turn out fine, but it’s easier to mix the sugar an butter first). Roll in balls. Roll in cinnamon sugar. Bake. Simple.
Don’tcha Just Love Cookies?
I do. Cookies are my favorite dessert. What’s yours? Do you like fancy cakes? Pudding? Ice cream? What’s your specialty? Cookies might not be your all-time favorite, but everyone is going to love these Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookies.

Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookies Recipe
Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Cookies
Melt-in-your mouth Cinnamon Sugar Cookies. Super easy. And gluten free.
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 ¾ cup Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Cookie Coating
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Cookie Dough
Cream butter and sugars (not the cooking coating mixture) until thoroughly mixed.
Add eggs, milk and vanilla and mix until combined.
Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt on top of the wet mixture. Give the dry ingredients a fluff with a fork or wire whisk to mix the dry ingredients.
Then, using an electric mixer (I prefer a stand mixer), mix the wet and dry ingredients on low speed until fully incorporated.
Whip on high for 3 minutes.
The dough will be quite stickly, like cake dough.
Using two spoons, roll the dough into 1”-2” balls, depending on how big you want your cookies.
Cookie Coating
Mix the cookie coating ingredients (sugar and cinnamon) in a small bowl to use for rolling on the outside of the cookies.
Roll each cookie dough ball in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2” apart.
Bake and Cool
Bake at 350F degrees for 8-10 minutes, until starting to brown slightly.
The cookies will puff up as they bake and then flatten out as they cook.
Cool on a rack.

I could not wait to make these. However made them exactly to the recipe and the dough was like cake mixture. They do not look like picture at all. However did have good taste.
Tina, I’m so sorry it didn’t work out perfectly for you. I reviewed the recipe and believe it’s right, but I will make them again. Gluten free flour does make things much stickier, more like cake, since it doesn’t have the gluten to hold it together. It will never have the exact same texture as one made with wheat.
