Another Classic Recipe veganized and better than ever!
Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookies happen to be my Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe in disguise!
Just Leave out the chocolate chips and dunk each dough ball in cinnamon sugar.
Snickerdoodle Cookies
Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and super chewy on the inside!
Ready in less than one hour with no weird egg replacers or obscure vegan ingredients!
I have been getting back to the basics lately with natural or NO egg replacers in my recipes
I was never a grand fan of Aquafaba in cake recipes but I happen to love it in cookie recipes
If you don’t have aquafaba you can simply replace it with 2 Tablespoons of flax meal added to 1/3 cup of hot water instead
Pro Bakery Tip:
To prevent spreading of your cookies, refrigerate the scooped dough balls while you preheat the oven
I also like to make large batches of cookie dough so I can freeze the dough balls for up to 2 months!
Just grab a few balls of dough out of the freezer, roll them in cinnamon sugar and bake as usual!

Notes
Cookies will stay fresh for up to 1 week in an airtight container at room temperature
You can also freeze un-baked dough, by scooping the dough into a parchment lined sheet pan, freeze and then transfer to a zip lock bag for up to 2 months
Thank you so much for this awesome recipe. The cookies are so yummy and the dough is so light and fluffy. I want to use them to make also the cheesecake but it will be hard not to eat them all before.
Just the size was not so clear to me as i am not American so my first cookies are a little oversizes for my taste but this is easy adjustable 😀
Thanks so much again. Finally a perfect vegan Snickerdoodle!
When it calls for aquafaba, do we just add the chickpea water or do we turn it in to that aquafaba texture first?
Thanks,
Indigo
Hey great question! I should be more clear in my writing! It’s always liquid, if I ever whip it (which I rarely do, except for when I make mousses) I would instruct that in the directions! Thanks!
