This snickerdoodles recipe uses gingerbread sugar for the coating instead of the typical cinnamon sugar. I used my go-to snickerdoodles recipe, which is baking soda free and cream of tartar free - and yes, the snickerdoodles still stay soft !

To make the gingerbread sugar coating, you'll need a gingerbread spice mix (either store-bought or homemade - there are plenty of recipes online !). Once you have your gingerbread spice mix, the recipe is the same as any other snickerdoodles recipe : whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Cream the butter and sugar, add in the egg and vanilla, then stir in the dry ingredients. Shape the dough into balls, roll in the gingerbread sugar, bake for 12 to 15 minutes, and tada ! You have gingerbread snickerdoodles ! These cookies will be perfect for the Holidays.

This snickerdoodles recipe uses gingerbread sugar for the coating instead of the typical cinnamon sugar. Baking soda and cream of tartar free.

Cook time : 12 minutes
Makes 10 cookies

Ingredients :
180g of flour
1/4 tsp of salt
1 tsp of baking powder
110g of softened butter
150g of sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
For the cinnamon sugar coating :
3 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp of gingerbread spice mix

Instructions :

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

Slowly add in the dry ingredients.

Put the cookie dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven.

In a small bowl, make the gingerbread coating : mix the sugar and gingerbread spices together.

Using an ice cream scoop or spoons, form balls with the cookie dough, and roll them in the gingerbread coating.

Put the cookie dough balls on a baking paper covered baking sheet, making sure not to put them too close together as the snickerdoodles will spread as they bake.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes (180°C/350°F), until the edges on the snickerdoodles are golden.
