Can you ever have too many holiday cookie recipes??? I certainly don’t think so, so I’m adding one more to the healthy cookie recipe docket today. And these paleo snickerdoodles are a WINNER. Right up there alongside my favorite chocolate chip cookies and the chewiest sugar cookies.

This one is a classic that I actually haven’t ever posted a recipe for, the snickerdoodle cookie. Traditionally full of sugar, butter, and cinnamon, it’s a soft and chewy cookie that we roll in cinnamon sugar before baking. It’s also usually not very healthy – at all.

When I questioned my Instagram followers on any holiday favorites they wanted to see made a bit healthier, @dianacooke requested healthified snickerdoodles. Diana, your wish is my command!

These paleo and vegan snickerdoodles were a resounding success. The combination of almond and coconut flours created a soft and tender cookie, and the cream of tartar helped provide some of that classic Snickerdoodle taste.

A little bit of maple syrup is all the sweetness the cookies need. Especially because they get some additional sweetness from their roll in the cinnamon + coconut sugar mixture!

The dough comes together in a flash. A bowl and wooden spoon are all you need, and no chilling of the dough is required! This dough is also light and fluffy, because of the coconut flour. That makes it super fun and easy to work with.

These paleo snickerdoodles don’t spread a ton, so I recommend patting them down before baking so they end up flatter. They’ll puff up a bit, and you want to pull them out when they’re just baked through. Don’t overbake or they’ll be dry. We’re aiming for soft cookies here.

So, if you can spare 20 minutes in the holiday craziness, you’ll want to bake up a batch of these!
