Merry Cookie Exchange!! Gluten Free Snikerdoodles

One of the most horrific things i faced when going gluten free years ago, was the loss of Christmas treats.

Not so any longer!

There are a world of recipes and products out there to stuff a celiacs head and tum with visions of gf sugar plums and puddings!

While not in this recipe, there is a magic product (and expensive. but magic) called C2C.

Available at WilliamSonoma Cup2Cup is a gluten free flour that you don't need to do math or measurements or combos of things never heard of, to bake with. It is magic.

On with the baking....

GLUTEN FREE Snikerdoodles!


Ingredients
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 c. white rice flour
  • 1/2 c. potato starch
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. xanthan
  • 2 Tb. sugar
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of your mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla and beat several minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, starch, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, and xanthan gum.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet. Combine on low speed until combined then beat on medium speed about 30 seconds more.
  5. In a very small bowl, combine the 2 Tb. sugar and the cinnamon.
  6. Roll the dough into balls approximately 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar.
  7. Place them on a greased cookie sheet (Or parchment paper, better yet silicone mat) about 2 – 3 inches apart.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees about 10 minutes.
  9. Move to cookie rack to cool.
  10. Enjoy!!

    Krissy- what valuable and interesting information! I am not gluten-free, but watch the amounts I ingest and feed to my family. We are reducing sugar and lowering calories while increasing good nutrition. It's had a wonderful effect on all of us.
    Snickerdoodles are a favorite of my family, so thanks so much for this recipe!
    I need to get myself to Wms Sonoma, for sure!
    Happy Holidaze! :-) E
