Soft, chewy, and warmly spiced, these Perfect Vegan Snickerdoodles are the ultimate plant-based treat for cookie lovers. This easy recipe uses simple pantry staples like vegan butter, all-purpose flour, and plant-based milk to create perfectly tender cookies with a signature cinnamon-sugar coating. With just 15 minutes of prep time and a quick 10-minute bake, you'll have a batch of 24 golden cookies ready to share (or keep all to yourself!). The use of cream of tartar ensures a classic tangy flavor and pillowy texture, making these snickerdoodles a standout dessert. Perfect for holiday gatherings, afternoon snacks, or pairing with your favorite dairy-free latte, these cookies are a must-try for vegans and non-vegans alike.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon (for rolling) and granulated sugar (for rolling). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened vegan butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly puffed. Avoid overbaking!
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Perfect Vegan Snickerdoodles with a cup of tea or plant-based milk!
