Snickerdoodles; gluten/dairy/egg/nut free

Modified from Sally's Baking Addiction.

Ingredients:

COOKIES

  • 1 cup softened (not melted) coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey and 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon applesauce
  • 1 inch of a banana (as big as an egg yolk)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 3 cups all-purpose gluten free flour mix (I use the all-purpose flour blend here)
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar*
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda*
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

TOPPING

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
**These 2 ingredients can be replaced by just using 2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  2. Make the topping: toss 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl using a hand-held mixer.  Get it nice and smooth.  Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients.  Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. 
  5. Take 1 Tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Roll the dough balls into the reserved cinnamon-sugar topping. 
  6. Bake cookies for 10-11 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
