Quite bizarrely Molly’s guided reading homework a couple of years ago was to make a Vegan Snickerdoodle. Well…off we went to do some research and play around with recipes. Good result all round; these are crisp, buttery (without butter of course) and delicious Vegan Snickerdoodle.
Most recipes call for a mix of sugars for the coating; we liked it best when we stuck with a light brown Demerara sugar mixed with Cinnamon. For these cookies we added in a mix of spices – Chai Spice mix which was Cinnamon, Ginger, Cloves, and Nutmeg. If you want a more classic cookie use Caster Sugar, and just the Cinnamon.

These are a great Vegan Cookie - Go classic and just use Cinnamon, or mix it up with a bit of Ginger too.
