How to Make Gluten Free Snickerdoodles

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ½ cup shortening, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking mix, 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons baking powder (adjust baking soda/powder if your mix already contains them – see recipe notes).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
  9. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
