This is it my friends. The ultimate in gluten free cookies. Mr. Fearless Dining has always been a fan of snickerdoodles, but for some reason, I have never made one for the blog. Maybe I thought I had blogged this recipe years ago, or maybe I haven’t made these often enough :-). (I know Mr. Fearless Dining would say I don’t make them often enough!)
If you love the type of cookie that is slightly crisp (very slightly) and melts in your mouth, you must give this recipe a try! (These Gluten Free Russian Tea Cookies are also great melt in your mouth cookies to make!)
Snickerdoodles have a cute name and you can check out the story behind these cookies.
What do snickerdoodles taste like?
Snickerdoodle cookies have a sweet cinnamon sugar flavor. The cookies are buttery and light. The secret to a good snickerdoodle is to roll the unbaked dough in a cinnamon sugar blend.
Although snickerdoodles are typically a really soft cookie, this recipe adds a little crisp to accommodate the ice cream, making them perfect for ice cream sandwiches.
We love to use snickerdoodles for ice cream sandwiches! It makes the perfect summer gluten free dessert!

Hi I made these a few days ago, they turned out quite well but I had to add more flour as my mixture was very wet and sloppy still,I made 12 plain and 12 with choc chips, they well crumbly and not too sweet but they were huge. Which my hubby and sons liked, not sure if they tasted as they should as we dont have them in the UK but will definitely make them again maybe with raisins or fudge pieces. I’m not sure mine would have faired to well it I had tried to put ice cream in them, but my lot liked them and they are the third biscuit I have made that didnt end up as one giant biscuit lol. Thanks for posting I’m gonna check out some of your other gf recipes x
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much for your note…which gluten free flour blend did you use, and did it contain Xanthan gum? Every blend has a different flour/starch ratio, which can affect the moisture level greatly…and some don’t include Xanthan Gum (holds things together better).
Jules Shepard
An absolute family favorite! It doesn’t get better than snickerdoodles!
Sandi Gaertner
Agreed 🙂
Courtney Montgomery
Can i use almond flour instead as i don’t have the gluten free mix?thank you.
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Courtney, almond flour by itself will not hold together very well, it needs to be blended with other flours or some type of binder.
Shonne
Did I miss the cream of tartar in the actual recipe. I saw it on “what you need” but it’s not on the recipe itself. Can you advise how much?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Shonne, thank you for catching that. I ended up not having it so I didn’t use it in the recipe. I took it out to avoid confusion. Thank you again!
