The Best Gluten Free Recipe for Snickerdoodles

   I was thinking about snickerdoodles this winter.  I haven't had any for years, and this one comes from my Heritage School Cookbook.    My granddaughter and I had fun making this batch.  I realized while posting this that I forgot to take some pictures of the cookies.  But you know they were good!!

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE  RECIPE FOR

 SNICKERDOODLES

1.  Prepare dry ingredients -  In a  large mixing bowl put: 

(1)  The recipe calls for 2 3/4 cups of your favorite gluten free flour mix.   When I made these, I used 2/3 cup + 1/4  cup of white rice flour, 2/3 cup + 1/4 cup of sorghum flour,  2/3 cup of tapioca flour, and 1/4 cup brown rice flour. 

(2)  Stir in 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. baking soda, 2 tsp. cream of tartar.

2.  Cream butter and sugar:
(1)   In a mixing bowl cream together 1 cup of softened butter with 1 /2 cups of sugar.  Beat until light and fluffy.
(2)  Beat in the 2 eggs ONE at a time until it is completely blended, and then add 2 tsp. vanilla extract (a website suggested this).

3.  Make batter:  Slowly add the dry ingredients and continue beating until the batter becomes thick and elastic.   Divide into two parts and cover each in plastic wrap and then refrigerate at least 1 hour. This can also be left overnight and finished up the next day.

4.  Make balls of dough:  Each piece of dough should make about 21 balls.  All of this will depend on how big you want your snickerdoodles to be.

5.  Roll the balls in a mixture of 1 /2 T of cinnamon and 3 T of sugar. 

6.  Put the coated balls in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm them up.  Then roll each ball one more time in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

7.  Bake cookies:  Bake in a 375 oven for 8 to 10 minutes on a parchment lined pan.  You can play with the time to determine how you like your snicker doodles to come out.  Let them cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes and then put them on a wire rack.
