Best Homemade Mini Snickerdoodle Cookies

My kids just absolutely love these gluten free snickerdoodle cookies from Aldi. The problem is there are like 12 in a package and they are super tiny! I also am not a huge fan of the ingredients. SO I decided to try my hand at making my own! And my kids loved these so much they forgot we had a bag of unopened Aldi snickerdoodles in the cabinet, lol. So, I’d say that’s a win!

I use Einkorn flour for mine but you can absolutely sub in all purpose flour. I have the conversion ratio below. I also use coconut sugar so the sweetness is a bit more mild that the traditional snickerdoodle but you could also use regular cane sugar if you’d like here too!

The traditional snickerdoodle recipes use Crisco which give you that super light, flakey texture. I am not a fan at all of using hydrogenated oils so I subbed in beef tallow and coconut oil but you could always use butter and coconut oil too and they are just as delicious!

I like to scoop mine out in tablespoon increments so they are mini sized cookies but you can scoop them out to be whatever size you would like! You can also scoop out, roll into balls, bake a few, and freeze the rest of the dough balls to bake for later. That way you can have fresh cookies for weeks with little effort!

Fill your cookie jars with a cookie you can feel good about serving to your kids!
