Almond Flour Snickerdoodles

Almond flour snickerdoodles, October, 2011

Snickerdoodles are a great go-to cookie. They’re delicious, simple to make, freeze well, and all in all, they make a great snack. This slightly chewy gluten-free recipe is higher in fat than wheat flour versions because of naturally higher fat almond flour. It’s also lower in carbohydrate and higher in protein.

    Yum! These cookies look fabulous and totally don’t look like they are made from almond flour!

      Thanks — yes, they really are wonderful. I made GF and regular and couldn’t tell by looking at them which was which. Best GF cookies I’ve made yet, if I do say so myself.
