Have you ever heard of Snickerdoodles? While you can look at a big question mark on most people’s faces when you say this funny word, these delicious cinnamon cookies are almost commonplace in America. Because this insanely delicious creation is not eaten overseas at Christmas time. When you see them for the first time, you might be tempted by their inconspicuous appearance to believe that Snickerdoodles are just ordinary cookies. But as soon as you have taken the first bite, you will realize that they are very special cookies. I don’t know of any other cookies that are so fluffy and tender and whose consistency really lives up to the expression “melts in your mouth”.
IT’S BEGINNING TO SMELL A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS…
But what is so special about these American cookies? I’ll tell you. Just before the Snickerdoodles are baked, they are traditionally rolled through a Christmassy mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Normally they taste pretty sweet because of this, but of course I created an equally tasty but slightly healthier version of the classics for you – gluten-free, vegan and incredibly delicious. You absolutely must try them!
