Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make The Flax Egg:

  • In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water together to form the flax egg.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, maple crystals, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Ensure that the dry ingredients are well combined. The best way to do this is with a whisk

Prepare Wet Ingredients:

  • In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the warmed coconut butter (I recommended microwaving it for about 30 seconds for best results), vanilla extract, flax eggs, and additional water until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring well to form a cohesive cookie dough. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time. The cookie dough should be a little stickier than traditional cookie dough.

Coat In Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the maple crystals and cinnamon and mix until combined.
  • Place the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture and roll until completely coated.

Shape the Cookies:

  • Place the cookie dough balls with the cinnamon sugar coating on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for them to spread.

Bake:

  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remember that baking times vary by oven (so annoying!), so it's a good idea to check after 10 minutes.

Cool:

  • Allow the snickerdoodles to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy:

  • Once cooled, your healthy vegan snickerdoodles are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container for freshness.
