Dough Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- ½ cup + 2 tsp. granulated sugar, divided
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tsp. cinnamon, divided
- ½ tsp. cream of tartar
- ¼ tsp. salt
Coating Mixture
- 2 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and fluffy. Gradually add in the almond flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, cream of tartar, and salt, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the Dough Bites: Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out portions of the dough. Roll each portion between your hands to form small, uniform balls. Set the rolled dough bites aside on a clean surface.
- Coat the Dough Bites: On a plate, mix together the remaining 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Roll each dough ball thoroughly in this cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly, giving them their signature snickerdoodle touch.
- Chill: Place the coated snickerdoodle bites into an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Chilling firms up the bites and enhances the flavor.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure easy mixing and a smooth dough.
- You can store the snickerdoodle bites in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Optional: For extra sweetness, sprinkle a little more cinnamon sugar on top before serving.
