Who wants a light, crispy, sweet cookie? Well ... it turns out everyone who tried these cookies! Kids love them, but so do grown-ups with a cup of coffee or tea. Non-hydrogenated vegan buttery spread (like soy-free Earth Balance) adds a great flavor to this simple-seeming vegan snickerdoodle cookie. These cookies spread quite a bit, so make them small and spread them out. Also, let the cookie sheets cool between batches.

What can I substitute for the GF Oat flour? Anything? We don't eat Oats, not even GF
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to substitute GF all-purpose baking mix (like Bob's Red Mill) and 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum for the oat flour. I usually try to provide an oat-free variation, but I haven't tried this one yet. If you try it, let us know how it works out! I'm working on oat-free GF apple cider donuts. Hopefully, we'll have that post up within a week, so please check back.
