Gluten Free Snickerdoodles

Submitted by LARavenscroft

"This is one of my favorite cookies and I came up with this recipe by combining a few recipes. My husband (who can eat wheat) thinks they're great! Hope you enjoy them. UPDATE: Pamela's Ulitmate Baking & Pancake Mix includes baking soda and baking powder - if you substitute a GF flour mix that doesn't include baking soda and baking powder, you will need to add 1/2 tsp baking soda and 2 tsp baking powder."

Our family loved these cookies. I had to use a different gluten free flour blend as one of the members in our family is allergic to nuts and Pamela's has almond meal in it. lsc

This is a great recipe. Very rich flavor! I love Pamela's and my family hasn't had to suffer since I had to go gluten-free. Maybe if you were new to cooking, it might be a struggle to get these to turn out perfectly, but my family is accustomed to homemade goodies. None of us have felt deprived. Thanks for sharing!

I couldn't wait to try this recipe because I really like snickerdoodles. I used all butter. They tasted really good. Mine spread out quite a bit. I baked the first dozen for 14 minutes for a chewy cookie and more than 16 minutes produced a darker and crispier cookie. I liked the chewy, my hubby liked the crispy. The crispy would make really good cookie crumbs. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Thank you for posting this! I love Pamelas Ultimate Baking Mix and use it for many GF baked goods, but I did not have a recipe that used it in making Snickerdoodles. These cookies were a big hit with both the Celiacs of the family and my husband who can eat gluten! Very much like our wheat version in the past. Yummy!

We make lots of whole grain goodies around here and have been making the switch to gluten free. These were pretty tasty and I will make them again with a few changes. I'll reduce the cream of tartar to .75 teaspoon, add in a dash of cinnamon to the dough as well as 1 t. of vanilla extract. Thanks for sharing!
