Snickerdoodles are a classic cookie loved by many for their sweet and spicy flavor. Traditionally made with sugar, this recipe offers a healthier twist by using allulose, a low-calorie sweetener, and plenty of cinnamon. Perfect for those watching their sugar intake, these cookies are easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients Needed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup allulose sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons allulose (for coating)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and allulose until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of allulose for coating. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-allulose mixture until coated.
Place the coated dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
