Snickerdoodle is such a fun word to say! If you've never heard of them you wouldn't even think someone was talking about a cookie. They've come to be popular around the holidays, but as basically a sugar cookie rolled in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, they are delish year-round!
These particular babies are gluten free and could easily be vegan, based on your butter selection. With the crunch of a ginger snap, these cookies provide a buttery-sweetness, with just a hint of cinnamon. If you prefer a softer doodle, simply store in a container with some extra space/air. To keep them crispy, store in a Ziploc bag. No extra air.
So, make a batch today. Then, share with some friends/neighbors. We can't keep all this goodness to ourselves!
These cinnamon-sugar cookies can also be referred to as snipdoodles. While popular in New England, they are believed to have originated from Germany.

With simple ingredients and that sweet cinnamon flavor- these classic, crispy, gluten free snickerdoodles never disappoint!
