Snickerdoodles Recipe?

[holiday16]

I'm hoping to find one that gives you a nice chewy cookie. I used to use the old Betty Crocker cookie recipe (if anyone is familiar with that) so that's the type I'm looking for.

I just replace the flour in all my old recipes with Gluten Free Pantry Flour Mix, cup for cup, and everything's turned out great. I've had no problems doing this. I also replace the butter and milk for dairy free butter and rice milk and haven't had problems doing that either.

I may do that with some of the recipes I just can't find. I try to avoid mixes whenever I can since I can buy the flours and mix them so much cheaper myself. I have found a handful of things so far that seem to work better with a premade gluten-free flour mix though.

I found a Snickerdoodle recipe that turned out well! The link is:

It says to be sure not to overbake, but everyone liked the ones that I overbaked a bit much better. I was surprised that they were actually chewy and either I'm getting used to gluten free food or these really tasted like what I remember. My daughter keeps begging me to make these again. I think the way to make them nice and chewy is to bake them until the outside is just almost crispy and overbaked. It's hard to tell with cookies until they cool so it will probably take some experimenting.

The really nice thing was they did not get crumbly even after several days!

What is dairy free butter? Do you mean margarine or some kind of replacement? Or a natural cow's cream butter which makes it safe for dairy free people? Someone on this MB taught me that clarified butter is safe to eat. It's a bother to clarify it, but cheaper than buying it.

I have just pulled a batch of Roben's snickerdoodles out of the oven for a group of friends. (Three "regular" folks, two gluten-free and one Gluten-free Casein-free-me).

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. I wish there were a way to make them calorie free. :-P

I followed the recipe exactly, using a stand mixer and stoneware cookie sheets. I did omit the 2 tablespoons water because the dough was already very sticky. The result was very easy to work dough. Yay!!

If you found a recipe you like, stick with it. Use the following flour substitution and they should turn out just like pre-dx. 3 parts white rice flour, 2 parts potato starch, 1 part tapioca starch. Add 1 teaspoon xantham gum per 1-1/2 cups flour.

Dairy free margarine is hard to come by and is usually made of soy. Clarified butter might be safe for some people with dairy allergies to eat but not for my daughter and I.

I made the Land O Lakes Sugar cookies (gluten free recipe right on their site) not too long ago. They were REALLY good, and very chewy. I'd use their Gluten Free Star Cut Out Cookie recipe and roll it instead and roll in cinnamon sugar before baking. I would suggest smashing them down a little before baking so that they don't stay in a ball shape. When my daughter and I didn't roll them thin enough they were really puffy and chewy....so so so good.!
