Snickerdoodles! And recipe!
Cinnamon…sugar…snickerdoodles!
These lovely cookies were made by Garrick from the PPK. Photo courtesy of Garrick.
As requested, I’m going to share this recipe. I’ll be sharing some cookie recipes from time to time, so let me know how they were if you make them!
Snickerdoodles
Makes about 3-4 dozen
3/4 cup margarine
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup soy milk
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Cream together the margarine and sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla, soy milk, and cornstarch and mix until incorporated.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Stir. If the dough is too dry and crumbly, add a splash of soy milk. It shouldn’t be sticky though.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Form the dough into 1 1/2″ balls and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for about 12 minutes until golden around the edges, but still soft on top, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Enjoy!
Edit: I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on my blog yet, but my oven bakes everything freakishly quick (even from cookbooks, etc), so baking times on recipes I share definitely aren’t set in stone. Accurate/average baking times will be established when recipe testing starts and the cookie recipes get baked in a variety of kitchens with different ovens since some ovens bake slooowly and some quick.
So, if you try out a recipe and the cookies are definitely not done after the specified time that worked in my oven, just bake them longer and let me know how long they took.
omg thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve never had a snickerdoodle before and yours look like the perfect ones to try first.
I don’t know if you want feedback or not, but in case you do, this recipe didn’t work very well for me. They tasted pretty good, except 10 minutes at 300 was not sufficient. They were still practically dough when I took them out of the oven. I ended up leaving them in for at least twice that long; if I try the recipe again I’ll increase the temperature and/or cooking time.
Mine probably took about 15 minutes, I was thinking of increasing the oven temp to 350 the next time I make them.
hey, i’m a returning vistor at the ppk and i found your food porn and the link to your site..
i just made these. the only thing i would say is that i baked them at 350 for about 15 minutes. the thing is, they didnt exactly spread, so i might try changing it a little by adding some baking soda, too. however, this is a great recipe!
I really need to make these!
just a question:
why (2)two entries of “cornstarch”?
one with 2 1/2 tablespoon
and the other one is 1 teaspoon.
thanks for sharing the recipe.
I made these today, and they are super. I can’t read and only used 1 teaspoon of cornstarch but they were still tasty. I baked them for 17-19 minutes, and I turned the oven up to 350 for the last pan. Thanks for the recipe!
Glad you guys liked them!
jeep-ney-The 2.5 TB of cornstarch goes into the wet ingredients sort of as a binder, then the 1 tsp that goes in with the dry ingredients adds to the texture.
I made these and they needed to bake for ~15-16 minutes at 325 in my electric oven. I didn’t flatten them out much, though — they certainly didn’t flatten like those in the photograph — so I bet that added to the baking time.
My kids LOVE these. Thanks!
I’m a vegan, but even during my pre-vegan times, I never had the pleasure of ingulging in Snickerdoodles. Thank you so much for this recipe, and for making my first Snickerdoodle experience a good one. They’re great!
Can anyone comment on their consistency and texture a day or two after they’ve been baked? Do they get super hard? Or do they stay pretty soft? Thanks!
Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how many they make? I’m making cookies for my friends to indulge while cramming for finals, and I need to know if I can just make one batch of vegan cookies for everyone or if I need a couple. Thanks!
I loved them, I baked them for about 20 minutes and a slightly higher temperature but I have a really really old oven.
Oh, my GOODNESS!
Oops, didn’t get to finish my comment. Like I was saying…
Oh, my GOODNESS!! My house smells fantastic right now! And the cookies are to die for! I guess your oven and mine work very much the same because they came out perfectly. Definitely the best cookies I’ve made since I became vegan!
Thanks so much for the recipe!
