The holidays are around the corner, and I’m already feeling festive! I’ve been baking up a storm, getting ready for holiday parties and family gatherings. I wanted to create a Vegan Snickerdoodle recipe, and I love how these cookies turned out! They’re fluffy and tender with plenty of cinnamon!

Of course, when you’re enjoying a cookie, you have to have it with a cup of coffee. This season, you can find me sipping on a mug of Starbucks® Holiday Blend coffee! I love sipping on a cup of coffee while I’m baking or wrapping gifts!

Tips for the Perfect Snickerdoodles

  • Be sure to move the oven rack to the correct position. If the rack is too low, the bottoms will brown too quickly.
  • Make sure the coconut oil is completely melted before mixing. This will help you incorporate it into the dough.
  • Cream of tartar is a must-have to help these cookies lift and give them a fluffy texture.
  • If you’re wondering why there is vinegar in a cookie recipe, the vinegar reacts with the baking soda to add additional lift. Do not omit.
