I don’t know why it has taken me so long to make these Soft and Chewy Vegan Snickerdoodle Cookies, but they are SO yummy!  What sets the Snickerdoodle apart from other cookies, is the use of baking soda & cream of tartar as leavening agents – together they form a single acting baking powder.  These cinnamon sugared soft, chewy cookies are a great one to include in your next cookie swap!

They start just like a sugar cookie with creaming the vegan margarine, sugar and brown sugar.

The dry ingredients are whisked together and added to the creamed mixture we made above.

I use a small cookie scoop and placed them into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.  This is what gives them their signature crispy edges while leaving the center very soft and tender.

To flatten or not to flatten…that is the question. Flattening the balls will give you a thinner, crisper cookie. I actually prefer these, but feel free to experiment to see which you like better.

Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.

The cookies store well in a covered container. I am giving mine as gifts to friends and neighbors for the holidays along with a few other treats.
