Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups of granulated sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for the coating.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Each ball should be about 1 inch in diameter.
Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat thoroughly and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your chewy and flavorful dairy-free snickerdoodle cookies, perfect for any occasion!
