Vegan Snickerdoodles

Few cookies hit the nostalgia button quite like a snickerdoodle — that crinkled top, the warm cinnamon-sugar crust, the soft and chewy center. This version skips the eggs and dairy entirely without sacrificing any of the charm. A simple flax egg made from ground flaxseed and water does the binding work beautifully, gelling up in just five minutes before it gets folded into the dough. Vegan butter creamed with organic cane sugar gives you that same fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth base you'd expect from a classic batch. Cream of tartar is the real secret weapon here — it's what gives snickerdoodles their signature tang and helps those tops crack just right as they bake. Each dough ball gets a generous roll in cinnamon sugar before hitting the oven, so every single bite is coated in that spiced sweetness. With 24 cookies in a batch, these are perfect for sharing at a gathering, packing into a cookie tin, or honestly just keeping on the counter all week.
