Eggless snickerdoodles cookies recipe - Today I am adding one more best cookie recipe in my eggless cookies collection on the blog.
A snickerdoodle is type of soft sugar cookie dusted with cinnamon and sugar. When you bite into it you will find edges are wonderfully crisp and inside texture is soft and chewy with lovely buttery sweet flavor.
This cookies are often served on Christmas and actually I made it and took photos on last Christmas. But somehow I forgot or got busy to post it at that time. So finally it made it to the blog.
Usually snickerdoodles has cream of tartar and baking soda as leavening agents. But this is eggless recipe and to get the same texture like the one made with eggs. I have used baking soda and baking powder as leavening agents.
usually these cookies have slightly cracked top and we have successfully achieved this look and also crisp yet soft texture.
As usual I have made half the recipe (because it’s for I am hubby only), but the below mentioned recipe ingredients are for 18 cookies.

Thank you for this recipe. Turned out great!
Glad to hear that.
Thank you for the review.
I baked 12 min but they were uncooked completely am I supposed to put it on toppest rack of oven I put it on middle rack
I'm confused it's been 20min still not baked
please check oven temperature. 20 minutes is too much, It should be ready by then.
Always bake in the middle rack
My oven goes straight from 160C to 170C. At what temperature should i bake the cookies ? - does the cook time change at all?
160 degrees Celsius.
Cooking time may increase to 1 minute only.
