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.

I’m vegan but I made these cookies for my family, and they loved them! They were super easy to whip up and a definite hit. We ran out of white granulated cane sugar, so I used approximately 1/4 cup coconut sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Will make again!
Glad that everyone liked these cookies
Thank you for the detailed feedback
AMAZING RECIPE!!! Soft, chewy, delicious. Perfect cookie.
Glad you liked
Would this work with almond milk?
yes, you can use almond milk
How would this work with coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar?
I have never worked with coconut sugar, so not sure.
Great eggless cookies I wish it made more like double!! Can I double it, would it come out the same? I used half white sugar and half brown sugar. My cookies spread a lot. Thank you! It was good anyway!!
yes you can double, triple the batch, no issue.
Chill the dough before baking, so it won't spread much while baking.
